Conversation Between Zak OHara and garted

    Hi Zak, think I've got it sorted - Richard Corner (head UK) confirmed that they would match the German price. (I guesstimated the the conversion wrong as well - the true difference was £92)
    hopefully I'll get the new comp and transmitter before the next dives (or else I'm back to tables and stopwatch - having surrenderred my original Icon)
    Do you know why Mares are stressing that the transmitter will be bi-directional - what can the tranmitter do with info from the computer ?
    Thanks again for your support,
    Gareth

    Hi Gareth thanks for the comments.. I left my currency excharge converter in the bag, so I'll take your word for it. I have no idea what the discrepancy is in price.. Each country or distribution center could have a slightly different price for a variety of reasons. We have a distributor and dealer locater on the website Authorized Dealers - Sales Network - Mares - just add water you can find the contact information here. Wish I had a better answer for you.

    Best,

    Zak

    Hi Zak, just started looking around for my Icon Hd upgrade.
    It seems that the UK resellers have been given a £400 rrp, but our european neighbours only have to pay €350 (approx £325).
    I am aware that UK tax is 1% higher but that doesn't come anywhere near £75.
    I also know that you have little or nothing to do with Europe however you have been and remain to be the only reliable contact for Mares. Could you please forward any solid contact details you may have for european reps.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gareth
