I registered my Icon HD about 2 weeks ago together with my Mares dealer. The registration process is quite extensive, and involves installing the most recent DiveOrganizer, importing a custom .REG file, performing a firmware upgrade of the Icon HD unit to at least 2.0 and filling out a web...

Jeez, I absolutely intend to bring a standard manometer for backup. In general, I really enjoy the functionality and design of the Icon HD and bought it, in part, because of the promised AI. But I look forward to the extra information the AI will bring, that a standard manometer can never...

Spring 2011 is coming soon, which mean Icon HD Air Integration is going to be available ! I looked around on Internet and dive shows for demos, videos or still images of how the AI looks like in the Icon HD interface. I have not been able to find any though. Have anyone found such information...

Hi c5diver I have experienced this to, and have tried several methods, but without success. In the end I found a yellow textile tape (from 3M i believe) in local supermarket that I have wrapped around the flexhose about 2 cm from the hose protector. When the hose retainer is attached, the...

Hi Zak Great news, hope everything went well at DEMA :-) I know the launch is very recent but I have looked around for videos or still images of the AI additions in the Icon HD interface. I have not been able to find any. Do you know if such information is available anywhere ? Best...

I know that separate Superflex hoses can be ordered for both the Abyss 22 and the Abyss 42. Please take a look on this suppliers product description (just for reference): Mares Hose Superflex I'm sure other flex-products (like Miflex) can NOT be used instead, due to the special "angled"...

The Icon HD is really a fantastic diving computer, but the lack of gas integrations is a serious flaw. If I'm correctly informed, Uwatec (owned by Scubapro) has the patent for wireless transmission of pressure data. Mares must have turned to Uwatec and asked them to develop the Icon HD, based...

Hi, I bought the Icon HD 6 months ago, and back then the air integrations was scheduled to be available by april. Others have bought it much earlier and have waited very patiently. The Mares website currently post that; "Air integration upgrade will be available from autumn 2010." After...

Hi all I have a Abyss Octopus with Superflex hose. It is a very nice octopus and the Superflex hose is a delight. My Mares Vector 1000 AT BCD came with a hose retainer, and I like to attach the hose of my Abyss octopus to the hose retainer, which is then connected to one of the lowest...

Thanks very much for your reply Zak. I hope Mares at some point introduce a twin tank BCD with Airtrim - I would buy one for sure :-) Best regards, Jakob

Yes, I stand corrected ... and look forward to take a Nitrox course sometime in the future :-) Extended information: Oxygen Toxicity Calculations - www.amsta.leeds.ac.uk/~read/scuba/baker3.pdf Nitrox Class - Part 2 - DIR-diver.com - Nitrox Class Part 2 Best regards, Jakob

I have a Mares Abyss 42, and I have no need for a knob to adjust the cracking resistance. Among the reasons why I chose a Mares regulator, was that the regulator automatically adjusts the supply of air according to the divers demands - no knob required. And I have not been disappointed...

I believe the developers from Mares Software are making the Dive Organizer ready for the coming air integration (AI) of the Icon HD ... The CNS abbreviation might stand for Current Nitrogen Saturation (in percent) ... ? When the AI is released and you go to your Mares LDS to have you Icon...

Hi I have a Mares Abyss 42 (and a Abyss octopus), which also freeflows when I take it out - but only when the mouthpiece points upwards. To my knowledge (and anyone from Mares, please correct me) this is normal and by design for all high-end Mares regulators. Your Mares regulator is very...

I have a Mares Vector 1000 AT BCD which I use with my 15 liters tank (and off cause my Abyss 42 reg :D ...). I really like the Airtrim and would like to use only that from now on ... it simply brilliant !! But I start thinking about moving to a twin tank (2 x 12 liters) and wonder how this...

tardmaster, Earlier I talked to Mares and have found that the dive maps should be formatted like this: Image format: JPG Resolution: 320x200 pixels Colors: 18-24 bit By using this resolution the image will fit perfectly into the image space between the black...

It might, but the link between PFO and DCI is, to my knowledge, not documented. Of cause, if a diver knows that he/she has a PFO, then diving with a higher degree of "conservatism" would properly be a good idea - if diving at all ... But instead of "why", the question was: "... please explain...

Sorry to highjack your thread, duckdiverdave, but I like to know the same thing (what the personal protection factor really does) - just for the Icon HD ... So could anyone please explain the "dirty" details for both the Nemo Air and the Icon HD ? Thanks in advance :-) Best regards, Jakob

While creating new dive sites and dive maps in Dive Organizer I reached the MaxLength of the Description column (only about 100 characters !). So I wanted to create a ticket on software.mares.com regarding this issue, but the Dive Organizer does not seem to be supported on the website .... How...
