We disagree with Tridacna. The brand is very relevant, insofar as performance is concerned. Sony or Panasonic (if you can get the ones made in Japan) are probably your best quality option. Renata (Swiss-made) and Maxell (Japan made) would be my second choice, followed by Varta (german made). The...

Griffon, I disagree. The actual size of the Mosquito and D3 dive computers is 1.2mmx21mm. A guy sells them on eBay.

I know this is an old thread, but I want to clarify "Arturo's" status as a scubaboard member. "Arturo" was my old Scubaboard member's name when I was living in Venezuela. In 2014 I moved definitively to Fort Lauderdale, FL and ceased posting as Arturo. In 2015 I started "Divewatchdoctor", a...

CuriousRambler, If you send us your Aladin Tec2g, we could waterproof it to 160 feet and check your computer depth reading vs. our Bergeon calibrated pressure gage (check our avatar) every 20 feet and report the results back to you. It would cost you $ 25 plus return shipping. We DO waterproof...

Sorry to hear that.

Eduardo, I am familiar with your Aqualand model. As a last-ditch effort it won't hurt to install a fresh battery, follow again the complete reset procedure (i.e unscrew and pull fully out the crown, press the three buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds, wait to hear two beeps and...

Shurite7 is right about the pool chlorine being harsh on gear. In the case of dive computers and dive watches with pressure sensors (like the Aqualand, HyperAqualand, Casio DEP 600, etc) the chlorine degrades the properties of the insulating gel in the pressure port.

Eduardo, Depending on the model (Citizen has sold at least 10 different Aqualand models), flashing "ER" on the display of an Aqualand could mean two things: a) You have to replace the battery or b) Indeed, a pressure sensor error has been detected by the software and your watch has to go the...

More than a hit on the way down (an particularly for the button popped halfway out), I tend to believe that some kind of marine life noticed the computer on its way down or sitting on the floor and gave it a good bite or two to check if was something edible. Of course, this is pure speculation...

HalcyonDaze, I don't know either what Error code "E20" means (full disclosure, an Uwatec Prime has been my trustworthy backup computer for the last 12 years). Having said that, I see two scenarios for your Aladin Prime: 1. After sitting for I don't know how much time at 30 feet of water your...

Joe Friday, certainly using a thin (lower viscosity) oil will reduce bubble retention. We regularly use Johnson's baby oil which is cheap and you can get in any drug store. What oil do you use? Transformer oil by any chance?

Aklinz, I can't guarantee they both use the same Oring. What I can tell you is that the Savant "O ring" is rectangular in shape, with a circular cross-section.

Joe Friday, We are aware of your method of getting rid of the bubbles. Usually, it works, but is quite messy and requires a lot of oil (95% of which will be recovered, I grant that). We use a different method. A point worth mentioning about the air bubbles: unless you leave the inside of the...

Aklinz, Yes, the Aeris Savant and the Ai 500 both use the same battery: Tadiran TL-2150, 3.6V.

We do service the Uwatec Nitrox Pro as well as any other Uwatec dive computer with exception of the Nitrox Air (is totally glued and can not be put back together in a reliable way) and Uwatec's last generation, the Smart series with an infrared interface (Pro, Com, Tec, etc). We charge $70, plus...

dmaziuk, I agree, it's tricky and you have to very careful and gentle in doing this maneuver. Additionally, you do not want any debris coming from the "corroded" contact to get into the electronics.

Ogie6, Everything points to dirt or early corrosion in your battery contacts. Open the battery compartment and closely inspect the condition of the contacts (suggest using magnifying glasses). If you any see corrosion, have to remove first with a very fine (1000 or 1500 grit) sandpaper...

Nftwins, Sent

dmcutter, Sorry to hear that. I am afraid the spirits invoked to revive your Datamask from the deads were powerful enough only to keep it alive for about 30 minutes. There is a more powerful witchcraft you can attempt but I'm afraid, at best, it will also resurrect your Datamask temporarily. If...

dmcutter, I don't have them in stock. However, Scubatoys: Oceanic Battery Kit for DataMask - Dive Computer Accessories - Scubatoys.com and DiveSummit: Oceanic Atom, OC1, OCi, VT & Datamask HUD Wireless Transmitter Battery Kit - DiveSummit.com apparently still have some left.
