Suunto have today launched their new (and first) Open Circuit Trimix computer, the Suunto HelO2. Â Rated to 120meters and featuring Suunto’s new Technical RGBM algorathim incorporating deep stops, the Suunto HelO2 will be more than adequate for most Open Circuit Technical Divers.
Suunto HelO2 Trimix Dive Computer
The Suunto HelO2 supports 8 gases from 0% to 92% helium and 8%-99% oxygen. Â These gases can be primary or secondary gases. Â A primary gas will be used by the computer when calculating deco information, and a switch will be prompted when you reach the gases MOD. Â A secondary gas can be switched to at any point on the dive, but the computer will not use it in any deco calculations until you switch to it. Â Secondary gases could include drop cylinders on a boat or your buddies gases.
As with all Suunto computers, the Suunto HelO2 allows you to select personal safety leves of P0, P1, and P2 for ultra conservatism. Â But unlike other computers, you can also make the Suunto HelO2 more aggressive by selecting levels of P-1 or P-2.
The Suunto HelO2 is available with or without a transmitter, which provides remaining gas pressure only. Â Supplied with the new Suunto Multi Gas Dive Planner and PC interface, you can upload and download dive plans and details.
