Considering a HUD from Fathom for Classic Kiss

[andrespp]

Hello, my CK is fitted with a Predator and a legacy Shearwater HUD, both hardwired.

The case is that lately the HUD was behaving erraticaly and finally the LED in the middle is no longer working, and the other two LEDs look like are about to die soon.

So I am looking for a new HUD to replace the old Shearwater one. From what I have found so long, the Fathom (Heads Up Display (HUD) - Fathom Dive Systems) have a nice appereance and it is reasonably priced.

However, I have no references at all about this product.
So would like to receive some feedback from those with some experience using it.
Thanks in advance.
Andres

It is a great HUD. Very bright in alert mode but not annoying so in normal dive mode.
The cable is very stiff, but a couple ties on the loop hose make it managable.

I like it better than Shearwater HUD. I feel overall it’s a better build product as I’ve experienced several problems with Shearwater HUD.

Fathom HUD adjusts to the ambient light automatically, which is helpful when cave diving. The alarm mode is very bright and visible to your teammates in not-too-bright environments.

Echo the above. The earlier versions had a few too many options programmed in that Fathom has since simplified. Great battery life, hard to accidentally hit the buttons. The flashing alarm mode is excellent.

Thanks a lot, will verify cable diameter to check if goes through the CK kidney.

I have fathom #18 so I have the original narced at 90 hud that’s potted into the unit. My wife’s n@90 died and it got replaced with the fathom hud and it’s definitely better.
I didn’t know that as grant said they simplified the software. Now I’m interested to see which version my wife’s has.

Where do you stuff the battery box on a back mount unit ?

To the breathing loops. Easy and hassle-free.

It's a shame that Putin did what he did!
The AV1 hud is simply awesome, i do have an aftermarket AV1 head for inspiration classic.
Excellent hud and controller/computer, and Alexey support was awesome but that $%#&*g War throw his market at waste
