Hi Mares Divers (Phil, I'm hoping you will read this so I can receive a PM from you offering some guidance!),
I'm just about to purchase the new Carbon 42 reg out here in Hong Kong - getting it for a steal! - and I'm wondering if there is more literature/reviews out there on this new set as the Mares 2009 product catalogue doesn't include this model yet. How different is it from the Abyss42 (which I was originally considering) aside from the obvious carbon fibre technology and weight savings along with the superflex hose? Has anyone out there dove with it yet? Phil, I saw your interview with Scuba Diving magazine at DEMA in Las Vegas and I'm excited about this purchase - but I'm wondering if anyone has first-hand experience with the new Carbon reg!
This brings me to my next concern. I'm upgrading some of my equipment and purchased a lot of new Mares products (Dragon BCD and Octopus along w/ the Carbon 42) and I can't seem to register my products online at the Mares site either. I've noticed a few similar posts. I'd like to make sure the warranty is valid and register these products asap. The multi-language warranty forms included with my gear did not give an address where to mail them to - as I would also like to do (the old fashioned way) since the website product registration isn't working. Phil -or anyone out there - can you offer advice? I'm an American living out here in Hong Kong but was just in New York yesterday and travel to the States often. Is there a Service Centre out here in Asia or should I mail the forms back to the USA? Regardless, I need an address or advice! Help! I wanna make sure my new Mares gear is covered!!
Happy diving,
