    Wetsuit heater

    Good idea. I am very careful with storage too. There are small wires that can break if the thing is not stowed properly/gently.

    LP TANKS

    Many/Some dive shops don't have the capacity to fill pressures beyond 3000-3200 PSI. So if you have a HP tank rated at 3442 psi you cannot get the tank filled to rated capacity. LP tanks, rated at 2640 can get filled to, and beyond capacity at these shops.

    Mares vs Shearwater

    I am sure if divers used this as a recreational computer to depths 100 fsw and shallower with no deco it would be safe and adequate considering Shearwaters are around $1K.

    Mares vs Shearwater

    Mares compared to Shearwater is like comparing a bicycle to the space shuttle.
