Marine Rescue GPS nexGen

Excelente producto

I just bought something I hope I never have to use. But isn’t that what insurance is all about? This Nautilus GPS emergency beacon is something I will never do without on an open dive, especially in tidal waters. I also recommend it for surfers, paddlers, kayakers, and strong swimmers who think they can beat a rip current. What happens if they can’t? They activate their GPS beacon. Order 2 CR123A photo batteries when you buy this. It comes without batteries.

“Waterproof down to 425’ and tough enough to run over with a truck”… so they say!Well I took it down to 130’ last week, handling it ginergly in my pocket, and now it’s no longer working at all, and less than three months old!I Went to test it before traveling tomorrow and it doesn’t turn on!! Then I notice water droplets in the battery compartment. I tried opening the compartment but it is no longer possible to unscrew the one screw.Btw I also purchased their pouch and returned it immediately, because it was already falling apart straight out of the box.Do not trust your life to a shoddy thing that fails so easy! If I was only discovering this thing no longer works while lost at sea, I’d be most upset.

This is not the most coherently written review, but I don’t feel like editing at the moment.This is a must for diving. The o-seals are not the most robust. It should have a double oring and it doesn’t. They use a weird gasket. That said, if it doesn’t flood and you do drift off, it could save your life.Programming to a ship’s MMSI is a bit of a trick the first time. You program an app on your phone with the MMSI. You put the transmitter in program mode. Then you aim the phones light at the center of the antenna holder. A series of flashes programs the MMSI into the transmitter. You need to deploy the antenna to do this. You then re roll the antenna with the tool that is provided.I dislike the tool. It’s small and easy to misplace. There is no simple place to store it. They should design the antenna so it doesn’t need a tool for deployment.

Today, the Nautilus GPS is one of the best options when it comes to scuba diving in remote locations. Divers around the world know that there are certain dive sites in the world that have very particular characteristics of currents and waves. The island of Malpelo, in Colombia, is one of those places. Possessing an abundance and variety of fish without equal, the waters of the island are also renowned for their strong ocean currents. It is there where the Nautilus GPS takes on special prominence, providing the necessary security element to fully enjoy this beautiful place.
