We love love love our Mantus dingy anchor! Mantus just makes good stuff that works well. Make sure you have a solid anchor and plenty of rode for deep water. That’s the customer service mantra we love: take care of the customer no matter what.ĭon’t forget to bring your dive flags with you (the US Dive Flag for the states and the International Dive Flag for everywhere else). In less than a month, we had the compressor back, new engine on and we were back to filling tanks and diving. After writing the customer service department, alerting them to the issue, they sourced a new Kohler engine and shipped it to the local Bauer shop in Papeete. We were in Tahiti and Bauer took care of us 100%. There was a major flaw with some of those engines where the throttle cable messes up when servicing the carburetor (try googling it). ***Service Note – The Oceanus compressor we purchased came with a Subaru engine and it worked fine for a year. But, they said it’s a no-go since they don’t sell direct and they recommend people purchase through a local dealer.
#GAS MODEL BAUER OCEANUS CODE#
While I had them on the phone, I tried to get a discount code for you (our loyal viewer). Plus, I was told most dive operators purchase the gas models as well…’ the gas version is just proven to work’.Īnd that’s how we ended up with a gas model Bauer Oceanus. They claimed it will be simpler to service and maintain in small countries.
Junior or Oceanus Model? I was told for filling tanks on a boat it’s best to buy the Oceanus as it is less affected by tilt.I reached out to the team at Bauer USA with a request to speak one of the engineers.
#GAS MODEL BAUER OCEANUS PORTABLE#
They’ve been around forever and everyone we spoke to said they make the best portable breathing machines (we just call it a SCUBA air compressor). It’s a smartwatch and dive computer combined into one…with too many features to list here.īauer dominates the scuba tank fill market. We’re able to mark our entry and exit spots. The surface GPS navigation with full-color onscreen mapping and location reference has already been seriously sweet addition for drift diving and strong current pass dives.
With or without tanks, in saltwater or freshwater, breathing nitrox, trimix or freediving, the computer is made for it all. It’s an all around beast of a watch which has taken our freediving/scuba game to the next level. When we upgrade, we’ll let you know what we go with. Tanks – Our current tanks are old used tanks that were gifted to us.The only thing we’ve added/upgraded is our dive computer. It comes with the BC, regulator, octopus and dive computer. The AquaLung Travel Set was affordable and the perfect compact starter set for us. Scuba – BC/Reg/Octopus/Dive Computer/Tanks I can wear them with or without socks/booties. The SporaSub fins were the only ones I found that fit me. Every pair of fins I tried on were way, way too big and wide for my size seven foot. But the big thing to note here is my freediving fins. Nikki – I like my low profile mask and prefer a simple snorkel. But if it’s listed here, it means it works for us and has earned its place aboard the s/v Curiosity Dive Shop. We’re not experts on scuba diving, freediving (which we really love) or dive gear.
#GAS MODEL BAUER OCEANUS FULL#
It never made sense to own gear because we only found ourselves diving a couple of times a year (if we were lucky). We didn’t own a lick of our own scuba or freediving gear before living aboard s/v Curiosity.
