Recently I went Night Diving and unfortunately wasn’t able to have Sirus light up to see any information. Tried several options in the Brightness Option (Low, Medium, high and Dive) and also with the Backlight Option (Auto-Off or Push On/Off) without any success. Tried to find any suggestions or information in the manual without success. Any suggestions?
Not sure what it’s good for.

Getting back into diving after 20 year break (5,000+ dives) and was thinking about digital logbooks. This app simply wouldn’t allow me to log a dive… asked me about 1,000 different ways to begin waterplay (I’m a former dive instructor. So, I don’t need to LEARN how to snorkel or where the nearest SSI training center is). Then when I tried to simply log a dive it told me I needed to have a dive computer to sync with or it wouldn’t allow me to log dives. OK, I’m a Mares fan (old and new regulators were Mares Ruby and Mares Abyss and love my Mares Quattro full-foot fins) so I tried to watch some product videos. Nope. The product player is ineffective at loading videos in anything that could be a reasonable time. Tried several times on different days. Waiting a full minute to get only 10 seconds of video…Mares: I obviously love the company. I even dove a (Mares designed) Dacor Viper Metal until the Ruby was gifted to me by a student, but this partnership with SSI to create an app that is not ACTUALLY useful for anyone beyond a new student is a stain on the practicality of your name. Plus… it doesn’t even spotlight your products if the product videos won’t play.
Eats battery and poor lockout
simradio
I’ve been using the app now for a few weeks and I’m very disappointed with how much it eats the battery on the Apple Watch Ultra. I can literally get one full dive on the app and then during the second dive it drains my battery to zero and then it will lock out because it has a warning that the dive was completed after the battery was run out. If you reset the desat, the entire logbook is wiped out. I’m pretty disappointed as I have already paid for the app for a year so I am stuck with it, but I am going to be going back to oceanic and their app which performs much better. Being an SSI instructor, I was looking for something I could put my students on that have Apple watches, but I do not feel this app is ready for primetime yet. A 48 hour no fly seems a bit excessive considering the maximum no fly is 24 hours.
Developer Response
Regarding battery life; It very much depends which version of Apple Ultra you are using and how old the battery is. For example, we find the the Ultra version 2 & 3 have significantly better battery life than the Ultra version 1. Also if there is a few years of age on the Ultra 1 it has a reduced performance.Regarding desat erase and logbook. What you wrote is not correct. Erasing the desat does not erase the logbook. When you have connection the logbook on your phone is synchronised to the cloud and cannot be lost. The logbook on your watch can be erased but only by 2 reasons (1) You delete and reinstall the app (2) You log out of the app on your phone. (Closing the app does not delete the log)If you would like to discuss these items please send an email to contact@mares.comEspecially being an SSI pro and as a member of the Head Watersports family we would welcome your direct communication.
App Apple Watch Great
Francouille
I’ve gotta say, the Apple Watch is way better than the Oceanic+! I’ve done over 300 dives with Oceanic+, and I’ve switched to Mares. It’s seriously great, you can check your heart rate both during and after the dive. Plus, the screen is better, and you can customize it even more. The design on the phone app needs to be refreshed, and ability to have more GF parameters and would be perfect! Great, I recommend!
Bug fix: Gas switch display in the chart.
