Excellent video. My mk2i got held up well for a few years but eventually gained a nice long scratch on the glass. Love my mk3i but wish the numbers were as large as my mk2i in dive mode.

@TeachMeToDive Even big numbers, the numbers seem a bit smaller, and you lose displayable info. While the screen is considerably clearer, it would have been fantastic if they didn't mess with the digit size or at least gave an option to size it back up.

I really enjoyed the video and you made me interested in two things, maybe you can make a video on those points: 1. You set up amazing screens. Would you mind make a video on how you set them up? 2. You talked about the setting of the AI with bottles and total dive time remaining with this air. I try to set it up and couldn’t do it properly, how about a video on this? Thank you again for this excellent video. Alex

@@TeachMeToDive look forward to see those. I am also a big fan of the Garmin Mk3i. But think the user guide is, let’s say, not so detailed as it could be. Unfortunately, I don’t have the talent to find all the features by my self. So, I am sure I will benefit from it. 👌👌👌

Awesome video, thanks a lot! I have two questions however: 1. your last deco stop seems to be set to the highest available value in the settings (20ft), is there a particular reason? vs. the usual 3m last deco stop in the tables? 2. on my mk3i, the safety stop only triggers after a non-deco dive. I get no safety stop during a deco dive. Have you experienced something similar? My settings are: High GF 85% Low GF 85% PO2 1.4 Safety stop 3min Last deco stop 3m Thanks in advance for your time!

@TeachMeToDive

Ай бұрын

Great questions. 1. I keep my deco stop at 20 with the understanding that I will always do a safety stop at 15' for 3 - 5 minutes and a slow slow ascent from there. By doing this, it allows a slower off gas and less of a stress to the tissues by not allowing you to approach m-value as quickly. Also, just clarifying, there is a difference between a deco stop with a ceiling and a safety stop:) 2. I haven't had an issue in which the Mk2i or the Mk3i haven't given me a safety stop after a required deco stop. I do have another computer that has issues with that, but not with the Garmin line at all. 3. You GF low is really really high, and doesn't really build for a comfortable of a safety margin. While in light deco, this really won't be an issue, bigger dives that will require more deco and into trimix this isn't the wisest idea. Your PO2 is fine and remember you can use a PO2 of 1.6 for accelerated deco (decompression blends). I would suggest reducing that to 50 instead. Remember, the GF low is the depth of your first stop, GF high is the length of your last stop. The computer will build a path for you between the two and assist in your ascent.

@@TeachMeToDive Thanks a lot for all this, I'll have to double check with Garmin support then, it seems like my mk3i is not doing what it's supposed to do. On the low GF topic, it's intentional. All the recent research that I've gone through as well as CMAS training material advises to use equal GF parameters for air dives, preventing deep stops that are now considered undesirable with air. It does change with trimix however, I fully agree.

@@ThomasMadrange I have seen a few people doing the matched GFL/GFH and I disagree with it. But, in recreational and light deco, it really doesn't have an impact at all. I would prefer to use one GF set, with smaller adjustments for things like cold, lack of rests/hydration etc. Less confusing and less chance of being missed in the predive. In plotting it out. The GF low has a hard time kicking in and making very little change at all to the overall dive plan. It starts to affect your dive around the 6 - 7 min and beyond deco obligation and sets deeper ceilings to help build a more gradual off-gas. Overall, I would still rather do a GF low of 50 and a variation of my high between 75 and 85 (depending on how I feel and how big of a dive I am doing :)

Would you recommend the 43mm or 51mm as a 24/7 everyday smartwatch? My wrist is around 18cm.

As a daily I wear the 51 and love the size during a dive as well. My wife wears the 43 as a daily, but has a little challenge with seeing 2 tanks on the display. For one tank it is great

Does the Garmin subwave sonar technology still have that annoying beep? Wondering if I would use all the functionality it is about 500EUR more than a Shearwater Terric/Perdix 2, which is what I wanted to go for. All three products seen great.

@TeachMeToDive

I haven't noticed the sonar tones at all with the T2, but we have only been doing cold water testing with it. This is an area that they mentioned had been improved. I do know, when we put the T1 on low power mode, this helped a lot and we stopped hearing them when in the pool. As for Garmin vs Terric. GARMIN wins, BY FAR!!!! Garmin vs Perdix 2. Pretty even when it comes to being a dive computer. I still like the Garmin here for it's surface/daily wear functions. For more complicated dives IE Technical trimix and beyond, my Garmin moves to second position and I use a Perdix 2 as my primary. It just handles the very complex more easily, but that is a close race as well.

The 51 mm has an LED flashlight and the 43 mm doesn't. This is the only difference that I can see, other than the color of the watch itself :) I am a little jealous of my wife's color to be honest :)

Can you adjust the ascent rate? IE: 30'/min, 60'/min, etc

No, the standard accepted safe ascent rate that is suggested by Dan and the WRSTC is 30 feet per minute or less.

Neither could we. This was one of the complaints my wife had diving it for the last year. It was incredibly difficult to read during dives. While at the surface it is okay and certainly provides information, at depth, without a lot of concentration during dives, it was tough at best. Certainly not a computer I would use on complicated dives.

I happened to be looking for a replacement for my Fitbit (it died the moment it touched the water when I tried to use its swim tracking features), as well as my first dive computer to go along with my freediving.

There is a great deal of difference in these watches for sure. The Garmin is a hands down leader when it comes to biometric data as well as durability. The amount of true dive data as well is quite remarkable. It also is able to air integrate with 8 pods and has the ability for you to monitor your buddies gas(es). Plus send messages as well during a diver to other divers. Finally, my favorite. It doesn't require a subscription to be able to use the dive function and won't stop working if you don't have the morning update from Apple. :) Just a few thoughts :)
