Dive Computers

What are Dive Computers?

Also known as personal decompression computers or decompression meters, Dive Computers are devices that help provide crucial diving data to the diver. Often worn over the wrist and waterproof, it is highly portable while keeping the diver informed and safe throughout the dive.

How do Dive Computers work?

A Dive Computer helps to take time and depth information and apply it to what is known as a decompression model to track the dissolved nitrogen in your body during a dive. It also factors your no-decompression time using internal algorithms that factor in real-time data such as dive time, repetetive dives, water temperature, no-decompression time and more. As a result, Dive Computers have made physical dive tables obselete as it provides all the crucial data related to one's dive in real time, keeping the diver safe and informed throughout his or her dive.

What are the different kinds of Dive Computers?

There are three main types of dive computers: wrist-mounted, console-mounted, and watch-style dive computers. Wrist-mounted dive computers are the most popular type and are worn like a watch. They feature a small screen that displays important information such as depth, time, and decompression stops. They are easy to use and provide accurate information, making them suitable for most recreational divers. They also come in various sizes, designs, and price ranges. Console-mounted dive computers are larger and more complex than wrist-mounted models. They consist of a display unit that is mounted on the console, which also includes other gauges such as a pressure gauge and compass. Console-mounted dive computers are popular with technical divers and professional divers as they provide more advanced features such as multiple gas mixes, adjustable algorithms, and advanced dive planning. Watch-style dive computers are a combination of a dive computer and a regular watch. They are designed to be worn all day and can be used for both diving and everyday use. They typically have a smaller screen than wrist-mounted dive computers, and some models offer limited dive features. Watch-style dive computers are suitable for recreational divers who don't need advanced features and prefer the convenience of wearing a single device.
