The battery cover on the Mares Puck is very similar to the Suunto units. A hard black cover is unscrewed to reveal the battery and o-ring. Very simple and easy to do. We can certainly look at doing battery change videos
@ecopsorn We haven't actually got this in stock at the moment, we are still waiting for it to arrive with us. When it does arrive we will be doing a video on it.
Thank you for your message to us. Our dive experts are a little confused at present. Please can you inform us what you are referring to by setting the dive depth? Do you mean an alarm? Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
Great video, I wish that you could show a battery change so I could see how fool proof the sealing system is. I have a Aeris manta, and the only problem I have is how "flimsy" the battery panel sealing system seems to be. The zoop looks like a rock solid seal system, and that may be the difference between the puck and it. If you could add a quick video that just shows the system that would be very useful. I have heard many recommendations for this computer but have not seen a battery change yet.
I recently did a 110 ft wreck dive using my new "puck" and after getting on the boat it gave me a 13 minute desat time when my divemasters computer showed 45 minutes to be out before the next dive....Any reason this reading would be wrong ????
The Mares Puck is not very suitable for freediving. The Puck is an older model now and although it IS still available from retailers neither we nor Mares have actually listed it on our sites for at least a couple of years. The Puck does not have a dedicated freediving mode so any dives will be subject to normal scuba diving restrictions around ascent speeds and nitrogen. It certainly isn't going to put up with repetitive free dives for very long. Also the Puck can only record information such as dive time, depth and temperature every 20 seconds so it is essentially useless for recording free dives as well. Models like the Suunto D4i, D4i Novo, Oceanic Geo 2.0 for example all provide freediving modes with 1 second data sampling

How do you use the timer?
Is there any chance that you could cover the new Mares Puck Pro model as well?

thanks a lot for all the details - that was very helpful.
@simplyscubadotcom
thanks for the quick reply, awesome!
Really good, simple dive computer, just got one myself.
Must have bought a DUFF PUCK... Worst DIVE COMPUTER for reliability I've ever had... :(
Dark lighting. Next time don't wear a black shirt
