Mares Icon HD, New Revolution in Dive Computers

Color My Dive World

• TFT LCD color display.

• Double diving mode options, Extend and Profile

• Stores images and dive site maps.

ICON HD is a True full-color display computer. Its screen is made using LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with TFT (Thin Film Transistor) technology.

An intuitive software, the use of large characters, and the contrast created by using different colors, makes the on screen information easy to read, immediate and clear.

During the dive besides the standard navigation mode EXTEND, divers can switch to a second dive mode PROFILE.

ICON HD processes and shows the full dive curve in real time. The computer memory allows the storage of images and photos, including digital maps of diving spots.

What is RGBM?

The Mares-Wienke RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubbles Model) algorithm takes into account the phenomenon of micro-bubbles in order to prevent their formation to the greatest possible extent. 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.

Technical Diving Workshop Available to All Divers Free of Charge

DAN News
DAN Technical Diving Workshop Proceedings Now Available
Last Updated: 12/1/2009 4:33:23 PM

 

It’s good news for those who weren’t able to attend last year’s DAN® Technical Diving Workshop in Durham, N.C. The proceedings from the workshop are now available for download to all interested divers, and they’re available free of charge.

More than 165 persons attended the two-day event. The conference included four half-day workshops that addressed physiology, decompression, rebreathers and training with discussions about the operational and medical aspects of technical diving. Participants came from across the United States and from Finland, the United Kingdom, Canada, American Samoa, Australia, New Zealand and Grand Cayman.

The conference had three primary objectives: to establish communications among technical divers, diving physicians and diving scientists; to provide objective information concerning what is known and unknown; and to establish the need for data collection and quantitative analysis to answer unresolved questions. All who attended agreed the workshop exceeded those goals, and the event was a success.

In addition to the proceedings, divers can also download highlights from the conference, including PowerPoint presentations and lectures from the four workshops.

If you have an interest in technical diving, this is a fantastic opportunity to hear what was discussed when some of the premier minds in the diving industry got together with the pioneers of technical diving. It was a special event, and it’s all available to you.

DAN Is Here For You.
