Got mine in the briny for the first time today and was very pleased with it. I used to love my Vytec, but the Sol is the mutts nuts.

Had mine for a couple of months now and think its the best thing since sliced bread. Good screen easy to read, compass works at almost any angle I would recommend it. Divelife gave me a good deal, give Brett a ring.

My Sol is now back with Uwatec for repair....

Where I thought it was a dodgy transmitter, it is in fact the unit and it will not display the air integration if you allow it to turn off after pressurizing the regs. Eg, turn on, pressurize regs and air intergration works, allow Sol to auto power down and will not display the pressure when it is turned back on (manually or with water contacts), even though pairing is still present

Saw one of these on a blokes arm this weekend
I thought he'd velcro'd a freakin' laptop to his arm. The unit is massive and i reckon would be dead easy to scratch.

Yes, they are a little "large" but on a good day you can pick up Channel 4 to watch on deco....

Seriously, with regards to scratching it, the glass is recessed into the unit and also has a film protector and plastic cover. The only thing that will get scratched is the metal case and after 20 dives clambering over wreckage mine has very few marks at all.

Seem tougher than they look! (Although that does not go for the workings - see above!)

You have to wear it when you go to the toilet? Please tell me it doesn't monitor the tissue loading in there

You don't have to go to the toilet if you wear one of these. It does it for you...and it gets your groceries delivered too.

Galileo sol
Hi,
I bought one, good computer, easy to read and use, however I bought the infa red USB connector. I installed smartrak (software) on the PC using windows XP and then installed the driver. All was proceeding well until I tried to download dives and the PC crashed and kept crashing and crashing. James at Scubapro is on the case. It looks as if the driver is corrupt. the problem is my PC is unable to uninstall it completely. Have tried the programme on a different computer and it makes that PC with windows xp crash too. Humm. Any ideas anybody?

Sanpaul
