Very excited to tell you all that the two test dives that have confirmed Mercator Origins' metal have now been published to YouTube!

Here's my brand new, freshly minted YouTube channel created especially for the SupplyFrame Hackaday 2023 Prize entry!

Dive Zero - no electronics test - make sure the enclosure doesn' t leak or implode at 10m, checkout the human factors of diving with the spool, how does the spool and cable feel in my hands when diving?

Dive One - All systems go! Mercator Origins fully populated with electronics, very exciting for me to take my creation to where no other Scuba Hacker project has gone before :-)

And here's a pressure pot test to a stonking 56.5m dynamic and 46.5m 30 minute duration, using a device of my own building, though not my design (see my photo elsewhere for a credit to the designer)
