One of the things we looked at recently is changing some of the computers we offer in our packages and as upgrades to our packages. Two of the new entries are the DC Solar Link and the EON Steel.
According to the website, the DC Solar Link dive computer is the next generation in TUSA’s solar-powered devices. Features include: dive log transfer to smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth® SMART technology; Solar recharging which eliminates the need to replace a battery; 4-Mix Gas support; Free-Dive Mode, and a factory-sealed and rugged design that prevents flooding.
Using Bluetooth® SMART technology, you can transfer the dive logs from the IQ1204 DC Solar Link dive computer to any smartphone or tablet with TUSA Diving LOG app. Once uploaded to your device, dive logs can be shared with your friends on social media.
This computer looks like a new Casio G-Shock watch so it can double as a sport watch. It looks good and we believe it will be a nice addition to our line.
The EON Steel is Suunto’s next generation dive computer. The intuitive Suunto EON Steel combines advanced technology with a bright color screen and customizable features and display to show clearly what you need. With heavy-duty housing, a stainless steel bezel, and user updatable software, Suunto EON Steel will dive with you for years to come. We brought one in for a client who took it on our Cozumel trip and found it easy to read especially during the dusk/night dive. The advantage of this computer is that it can be air integrated.
Another computer introduced last month is the Shearwater Perdix AI. Our technical divers are familiar with other Shearwater computers becasue they have been using them for a number of years. The Perdix AI offers all of the same great features of the Perdix, the Perdix AI uses its large, easy-to-read screen to clearly display the tank pressure as well as your gas time remaining (GTR). The Perdix AI is capable of connecting to either one or two transmitters giving the diver the option to monitor both tanks or dive sidemount.
So, if you are in need of a new dive computer, come by and look at one of the new offerings.
