Tiny and relatively cheap 2n1 BT/compass, with DRIS backing and the buttons don't suck...I'll keep my eye on it for an eventual scooter instrument too. But right now I think I'll have a long wait for that blingy idea.

For logging dives do you need to buy aftermarket dive software? it says... "Download the logbook data in the UDDF format and open with any logbook program supporting this format."

I'm used to my Suunto Vyper Air. Suunto has its dive manager which I use to manage all my dives.

sounds like they have been shipping all along, although it would be nice to hear from someone that actually got one. I found the following on their website:


Dear Friends,

As we all know, the xDEEP BLACK seems like a really great product…. if you can get hold of one. We want to apologise for the lack of availability and to explain that it’s for one very simple reason: we completely underestimated how popular it would be!

When we planned the launch of the BLACK, we thought that we might sell up to 500 devices in the first year. The reality has far exceeded our expectations and in a very short period of time, the BLACK has created a staggering amount of interest. In just the first few months, we have received orders for thousands of devices from dealers all over the world. The reasons seems clear: the BLACK offers very powerful hardware with unique and sophisticated features at a very very competitive price. In fact, our marketing guys advise us to raise the price, but we won’t do it. We are divers and we just want to provide you the best equipment we can at the most reasonable price. This is the philosophy we had when we started xDEEP and its the philosopy we keep to this day.

The BLACK BT has been shipping to customers since August, but many customers are still waiting for their orders. We’re extremely sorry for that and please believe us when we say that we’re doing our best to increase our manufacturing capability and to deliver as many as you need, but it will take time.

We believe that with its unique features and great price, the BLACK is worth waiting for and feedback from the users who have already got the BLACK BT is really positive. Unfortunately for orders received now, the delivery time may even be several months whilst we work to fulfil all the current backorders. As mentioned, we are working hard to dramatically increase our manufacturing capabilities and believe the availability will significantly improve soon. In the meantime, we thank you for the overwhelming interest in our product and for your patience as we work as hard as we can to get supply caught up with demand.

Sincerely yours,
Piotr Czernik,
CEO of xDEEP LTD

DRIS is still reporting them as pre-order only.

Nothing here in Germany. My next big trip is in Feb, I had my fingers crossed for Christmas...

yeah many of us seen a good deal. it's better to sell more for cheaper than a few at a high price.


DRIS told me some time in January. I'm hoping that holds true.

We were just told by XDeep overseas, that they are shipping a bunch to the US tomorrow, Thursday. Let's hope we can get them and ship come the beginning of the year

Just checking on the situation now? I've just come into the market for this, but would need it in the next month or so...
