Got a Meg
Posted: Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:58 am
Well after owning two other megs, then going to a revo, I am now back to a COPIS Meg. Looking forward to getting it in the water.

I'll admit to knowing relatively little about CCRs, but why wouldn't you want the HUD?Chris Borgen wrote:Yes sir!!Joshua Smith wrote:Doing the "dual shearwater, no HUD" deal?Chris Borgen wrote:Haha not gonna happen!

I dont find it necessary. I have dove the past 2.5 years without one, and there was never a time (not even once) I said, "gee, wish I had a hud." I dont want to have a small light flashing in front of my face during my dive. Po2 litterally drops so slowly that if it has gotten to the point where my po2 is dropping to a dangerous range and I haven't noticed it....then probably shouldn't be diving a ccr or maybe even diving at all. Some people dont look at their displays and fly their unit using their hud, but it takes what... literaly 1 second to glance down and see all three cells are reading relatively the same. Some people have one display and a hud, I choose to have two displays reading po2 and calculating real time deco. Not for everyone Im sure, but then nothing is.spatman wrote:I'll admit to knowing relatively little about CCRs, but why wouldn't you want the HUD?Chris Borgen wrote:Yes sir!!Joshua Smith wrote:Doing the "dual shearwater, no HUD" deal?Chris Borgen wrote:Haha not gonna happen!

Fair enough. I love my HUD. Wouldn't want to dive without it; but whatever works for you, works for you.
