Like to wear your computer on your wrist the new Puck series computers are perfect for those in need of pure ease. The Puck is a full function RGBM dive computer with larger digits for easy reading and backlight on demand, single button to smoothly scroll through the menu options. Keep on your wrist or pop into one of the Puck consoles for maximum mounting options. The Puck Computer uses Mares-Wienke RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubbles Model) algorithm. The RGBM takes into account the phenomenon of micro-bubbles in order to prevent their formation. In over 10,000 real dives monitored by Dr. Bruce Wienke in the Los Alamos laboratories, the formation of micro-bubbles has been studied and evaluated in order to better understand the mechanism behind how micro-bubbles are formed during a dive. Today it is the most evolved algorithm for reducing the formation of micro-bubbles without compromising dive times.

Comments about Mares Mares Puck Wrist Computer:

Here's my mini review of the Mares Puck:
firstly all of the needed information is nicely and uncluttered-ly displayed, with clear bold digits which are very easy to read, even from an angle.
Operating the Puck is very straight forward- one button makes for all the function you need when a short press moves forward on the menu and a long one selects.
I've read the manual once, set my initial parameters, and than never had to consult with it again. Since than I've managed to switch from Air to Nitrox on the fly, including specifying the exact mix of course, I've easily managed to set conservative parameters and accessing the log book function post dive is easy as well. It has a nice backlight option which is useful on night dives. It has an easy to use accent rate monitor with alarm. It's pretty easy to understand when it goes into safety stops and just how long you have left before deco. It's battery replaceable. It has a dive simulator in case you need it.
I've had some concern regarding just how conservative the algorithm is after reading a little bit in some relevant forums but in reality hadn't encountered a situation when it came into play and I felt limited in any way.
I can easily recommend it.

Comments about Mares Mares Puck Wrist Computer:

Everything worked great once I mastered the PUCK setup. All systems worked according to Mares advertising and it only took two dives to get acclimated to the PUCK readout. Pressure gauge is a pressure gauge. After second dive noted the PUCK had a scratch on the lens possibly caused by coral abrasion, have to check on a protective cover for it.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery great, arrived in great condition. Regulator and gauges arrived in one box, well packaged.

Comments about Mares Mares Puck Wrist Computer:

Shows you "real time" No-decompression minutes remaining which is very cool! If you go in decompression it will tell you the depth you need to go to and the time you need to stay.
