It is not speculation the Mark II was tested here on the Big Island on a series of dives with a local Dive shop recently and they said it does have Air integration. I am not real excited about that feature so I don't care much but I am sure that many here will be looking forward to it. I will stick with a SPG. I don't go deep anymore anyway.

Anyone know what transmitter they are licensing? I doubt they would build one from the ground up and i know it wont be Suunto.

So Pelagic, Scubapro, Mares or....?

^what he said. Any chance you can find out what transmitter they are using for their air integration?

So now becomes the question for those of us with a Mk1 already that use it for multisport, get a Perdix AI, or a Mk2....
Decisions decisions.

@TuckerIdaho Sell the Mk1 now, before the masses learn about the Mk2 (and before the Mk1 goes on some blowout sale)...

Then buy a Teric AND a Mk2...

With as long as the Mk1 has been out, and with Garmin’s track record, the mk1 support will likely end a year or two after the Mk2. For that reason alone I’d get the mk2 when it comes out.

There hasn't been a software update in a year, not sure what "support" you're expecting.

that’s kind of the point. I work in software, I guarantee there are still bugs in the code, obviously nothing huge but still there. So yeah I like devices that are still actively supported by both the hardware and software teams is far more preferable.

Are you talking about the Mk1? There was just an update put out a couple of weeks ago.
