Does anybody know what the delay has been w/ Oceanic's ATOM 2 and HUD masks? I was thinking about getting one or the other and have been told they are delayed. WHY??
Thanks

Vie:Chris, I'm curious - let say a diver is using the HUD mask with a transmitter attached to the first stage. Could s/he also wear an Atom 2.0 or an Epic as a backup, with the wrist computer "using" the same transmitter as the HUD mask?
Just remember that what you are suggesting isn't true redundancy. You have a single point of failure, and that is the transmitter. If one of your computer fails, then you do have a redundancy, but if your transmitter fails, both computers loose their air integration. To be truely redundant, it would be smarter to have a set of analog gauges along with the two diver computers.Vie:Chris, I'm curious - let say a diver is using the HUD mask with a transmitter attached to the first stage.
