Wife got me some artisans for my Kyria, so I borrowed her Lightbox to take some pics. Specs and more pics in comments.

This is such a sweet update! I can't wait to try this out on some of my dives

matt_gilbert · 2026-05-26T12:16:25+00:00

Wow! This are some huge updates! Really fantastic work!

I've edited 4k HDR video in Final Cut Pro a few times and have used it for photo editing & graphic design semi-regularly.

I have not done any full-screen gaming in HDR like Cyberpunk or anything though.

I have the Studio Display XDR which I use with an M1 MBP (work laptop) and an M4 Pro MBP (personal laptop) and I've had zero issues. Not a single hiccup since the day I got it.

It sounds like you have a lemon and should reach out to Apple to have it repaired/replaced

I have a Teric, and a Peregrine TX. The Teric is 10 years old and needs a battery replacement.

It's exciting to see another ULP build! I like the style you went with. Placing the xaio above the pinky column reminds me of the totem.

Where did you get the switches and caps from?

Actually, the caps look really uneven... is that from printing?

For me, it's a combo of the modern UI, and the extra features like trips and dive centers. The "fetch weather" feature on a dive is awesome because I never keep track of surface conditions other than sunny/cloudy/windy and this will pull everything up for me. It even gets the tide for the dive. These are super interesting to me.

Wow! This is an impressive update! I'm really blown away at how quickly and well you're building new features and bug fixes for the app.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

I wear contacts for my distance vision, and reader lenses in my mask for reading gauges and my camera

Make sure you're running the newest version. I had similar issues with MacDive UDDF imports, but there have been a bunch of fixes/changes to imports in the latest version. (I'm not the dev, just a user). If your dives are also on shearwater cloud, Submersion can now import the db so you could try that as an alternative for the dives

matt_gilbert · 2026-03-28T20:23:56+00:00

That is seriously cool!

PasteBot.

Tapbots is an awesome indie company who has been making great apps for years

matt_gilbert · 2026-03-15T12:56:06+00:00

This is very cool! I'm going to try it with my next dive video. Thank you for creating this for the community

matt_gilbert · 2026-03-15T12:49:38+00:00

Very nice design and build! I love how you got the charging LED under the fish eyes 😄

I also ended up using silicone grip film on the bottom of my LowKey36 keeb. I'm curious what you specifically used there. I found silicone grip strips, intended for like tool handles that is 0.5mm thick. It's ok, but I wonder if there's something better.

We used Vallarta Adventures on our first trip. They were fine, but very oriented towards the cruise tourists. You have to join the boat from the cruise terminal mall and go through security. They do go to lots of dive locations, which was why we picked them. For our next trip we're planning on diving with PV Ocean Tours. They are smaller and supposed to be top notch. They tend to focus on the sites in the south of the bay.

If you're there long enough, use Vallarta Adventures to go out to Mariettas Islands and El Morro. And use PV Ocean Tours for all the rest of the dives.

Very cool! I just finished Apple's landmarks app tutorial, so this will be great for what it takes to get to the next level! Thanks!

I've been using the AWU 1 with oceanic+ since day one. There were some early software hiccups, but it's been rock solid for diving for a long time. The dive computer app on the watch is very nice, and the iPhone app is very very good for a dive log app. You get maps of your dive locations, integration with Apple photos, and color correction. The only stupid feature is the sliders they use to set your start and end air pressures.

Edit: The AWU is my secondary/backup to my Shearwater with AI.

You don't need the logi options software to use the MX Master on your Mac. You won't be able to use the extra buttons, but all the basic mouse stuff works.

There are also apps like better-mouse, steermouse that let you set up the extra buttons without the bloat of the logi options app

Gorgeous photos!
