Bungee for XR-2?

[sporket]

Hey guys I've got 2 questions:

1) Does anyone know if there is a boot or bungee mount for an XR-2? I bought the console (never wet) with quick disconnect, and I've changed the way I'm diving.

2) Does it have a bottom timer mode? I haven't been able to find it in the manual.

Can't help with the bungee - I recall a similar thread...

The XR-2 does have a digital gauge mode - you'll find setting info on page 40 and u/w operation details on page 63.

It has been a long day, so please excuse if I've misinterpreted your request. I assume since you have the quick disconnect console already you are looking at wrist mount. Is this the case? Aeris sells a wrist mount with the plastic straps. An enterprising gear buff with a drill and some bungee cord could convert this to a bungee mount. If you want custom bungee, you might e-mail Tobin at Deep Sea Supply to see if his bungee mount will work.

Thanks Doug. I wonder if it will fit any boot? Yes Diveprof I want to break up the console (computer & compass) since its already paid for. I couldn't sell it for what I have in it anyway, even if its new. I contacted Tobin earlier today, and he said they didn't make one. Nor did he offer to make one.

It will fit best in the dedicated boot - any Pelagic wrist boot will work, but may require a shim - and, if you care to ever use the XR-2 side button, a slight modification.

Doug & Diveprof thanks a lot for all your help. Doug who sells a dedicated boot for it? I haven't been able to find one on-line anywhere. Again, thanks.

Call Ron at Neptune Dive and Ski (you are fairly close, he is in Augusta - catch a lake or river dive with us). He could probably order you the Aeris boot.
