Questions about this item:
Shopper Is the Oceanic VEO 2.0 Mac compatible? If not, can you recommend similar computer/gauge combo's that are?
Also, what does "air integrated" mean? (reference questions asked about this product.)
Thanks!
DANIEL S The VEO 2.0 is not Mac compatible, nor is there a dive computer on the market today that is Mac compatible. I know this because I only use Mac's and was very disappointed to find this out.
However, I wrote Oceanic a rather scathing email and they called the next day. They told informed me of a third-party website that has software to make your PDV Mac compatible. They also said they have hired a company to produce software (drivers) for Mac and that it should have been available by the end of April 2013. I have yet to find this software.
"Air Integrated" means means the PDC can be connected to your air tank, which would allow the DDC to calculated how much air you have used, and how much air you have left.
Hope this helps,
Ben
Marilyn S The Oceanic Veo 2.0 is not Mac compatible out of the box. You can find mac software and drivers for the software at mac-dive.com for Oceanic and many other computers. Mares supports Mac. The Mares Mission Puck 2 Computer Console is comparable to the Veo 2.0. SKU: MRSMP2CC
Mac-dive is to be the best solution for unsupported computers or using Bootcamp and running Windows.
Air integrated means that the computer reads the tank pressure so you don't need a pressure gauge.
Hope that helped!
