The Suunto D6 enables divers to choose between making traditional shallow safety stops or making safety stops at depth |
FINLAND. Watch supplier Suunto has introduced the wrist-top Suunto D6 diving computer, to inform divers of water depths and temperature.
The digital compass in the Suunto D6 shows divers the direction in which they are heading both graphically and numerically.
Functions also include stopwatch, dual time and alarm clock. After the dive, the dive profile can be downloaded to a PC using the USB connection and Suunto Dive Manager 2 software.
The Suunto D6 has three modes: Air, Nitrox, and Gauge. Divers can choose between making traditional shallow safety stops or, with the deep stops function activated, making safety stops at depth.
In Nitrox mode, divers have a choice of using two gas mixes, which are preset before the dive. They can choose from 21-100% oxygen content and can change the partial pressure of oxygen for each mix.
The log book memory and graphical dive profile give real-time water temperature, which can be seen on the display. The model stores over 100 hours of profile memory. The dive history shows the total number of dives and how many hours of dives the computer has logged. The dive planner enables repetitive dive planning.
The model offers information in metric and imperial units. It is encased in stainless steel and given a contemporary, stylish look.
