Filed under Scuba Masks
Scubadiving.com calls it “freedom”, Aeris calls it CompuMask. That’s hands-free diving so you can focus on the dive. The CompuMask has a miniature liquid crystal display (LCD) which allows you to concentrate on the dive and at the same time, displays critical dive data such as current depth, elapsed dive time, cylinder pressure and dive time remaining. It also includes a digital optic system, microprocessor, depth transducer, wireless cylinder receiver, diver replaceable battery and controlling software. The lens provides a highly magnified image and displays data in white numbers with a blue background.
Product Features of the Aeris CompuMask HUD:
· In-mask Digital Optic System provides a clear, highly magnified image of the LCD, which is viewable regardless of environmental conditions and may be seen clearly by the vast majority of people, regardless of vision.
· Allows “Hands-Free Diving” for greater convenience, enjoyment and safety during the dive.
· Wireless Air Integrated Technology with patented Air Time Remaining Algorithm.
· Audible Alarms with User Acknowledgment.
· Adjustable backlight intensity may be set on the surface or underwater, allowing the user to fine-tune display so that it is easily readable, yet not distracting.
· Advanced User Settings & Options.
· Diver Replaceable Batteries.
· ACI PC Download and Settings Upload Software and USB Cable included.
One professional diver from Atlanta, GA finds the Aeris CompuMask easy to use and an outstanding mask, on the overall, “I have had this mask for a little less than a year and I LOVE it!! It’s great to have everything you need at a glance. Put the transmitter on the right side of your first stage to keep them linked. The only thing it’s missing is a digital compass, but I can’t complain. I have used the mask in the quarry, pool and ocean diving in the Caymans and has hasn’t let me down.”
