Stylishly designed with a choice of either titanium or metallic case, the Stinger is a superb dive computer with stunning good looks. Boasting a vast range of features that would satisfy even the technical diver, the Stinger is the dive computer you can wear every day.
Suunto’s new flagship model offers you everything a diver can ask for. The Stinger is a full decompression dive computer and beautifully constructed compact-size watch in one rock-solid package. As a watch, the Stinger provides the travelling diver with dual time, calendar function, alarm clock and stopwatch. Wherever you want to dive or play, the Stinger lets you do it with unprecedented accuracy and pure style.
Customized Solutions For Every Diver Suunto Stinger is the only Advanced Computer Watch in the world with the separate Air, Nitrox and Free/Gauge models. Depending on the chosen mode it offers you all the information you need when diving with either standard air, nitrox, technical gas mixtures or when freediving. The decompression calculations are made with the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM).
Nitrox display alerts with visual and audible alarms when oxygen toxicity level becomes too high
Free Diving/Gauge display shows you the relevant information for either dive by displaying present depth, alternative values for maximum depth, temperature, dive time, current time and dive number
Ceiling and Floor display alerts with audible alarm, blinking ASC TIME and upward pointing arrow notifying you that your dive has become a decompression stop dive and that you are below the floor depth
Safety Stop display includes a recommended safety stop in the depth range of 20-10 feet (6-3 meters) for every dive deeper than 33 feet (10 meters)
Memory display includes high capacity logbook and profile memories with detailed dive information such as dive entry time/date, dive time, personal adjustments, possible violation notations, temperature at max depth, surface interval time and scrolling dive profiles with bookmarks
Advanced watch functions include calendar, alarm clock and stopwatch
Stinger PC Interface: The Stinger memory information can be downloaded to a PC with the Suunto Dive Manager (SDM) software and interface. SDM allows you to keep a complete computerized logbook, simulate dives and analyse and print your dive profiles. SDM even allows you to send your dive profiles to Divers Alert Network, thus contributing to DAN's global Project Dive Exploration. You can download your free copy of SDM at www.suunto.com.
Product Features
Continuous Decompression 'Continuous Decompression means the ability to measure and calculate, in real time, the optimum depth for decompression. This is a safer type of decompression as it more closely follows the way nitrogen is eliminated from the body.'
PC Downloadable 'The PC Downloadable feature gives you the opportunity to transfer information – depths, temperature, air consumption, nitrox information and ascent rate - to a PC or laptop after your dive You can then enter further data – buddy’s name, weather, tides, etc - to create a comprehensive dive log that can be stored electronically and shared via email.'
36-Hour Log Book Memory A 36-Hour Log Book Memory allows you to store a lot of information about your dive and the best computers boast 36 hours of continuous recording.
RGBM Tables 'RGBM Tables (Reduced Gradient Bubble Model) – are by far the most advanced way of calculating decompression rates, increasing bottom time and decreasing the risk of decompression illness. '
Nitrox Compatible Nitrox Compatible computers are becoming more desirable as nitrox diving is becoming more popular.
Maximum Depth Alarm / Bottom Time Alarm 'A Maximum Depth Alarm / Bottom Time Alarm eliminates the need to constantly check your depth gauge, allowing you to enjoy the dive. '
Multiple Operating Modes 'Multiple Operating Modes in advanced dive computers are capable of being set in several different modes – Air (for operation as a diver computer with standard air mixes), Nitrox (for operation with oxygen-enriched air mixes, Gauge (for operation without decompression function, often used by technical divers) and Free (for free diving / snorkelling). '
Automatic Activation 'Automatic Activation means the computer starts recording the dive the moment it is submerged, meaning fewer hassles and a higher level of accuracy and therefore safety. '
Electroluminescent Display 'The Electroluminescent Display is a clear blue backlight which activates either with a push of a button or automatically when dive alarms are given, making the dive parameters and/or time clearly visible and legible in the darkest environment. '
Personal Adjustment / Altitude Adjustment 'Personal Adjustment / Altitude Adjustment can be adjusted for diving at altitudes up to 3000m (10,000ft). A personal level of conservatism can be added. This option gives more versatility and safety. '
Calendar / Clock Function The Calendar / Clock Function offers time and date functions. (Some units offer dual time and stopwatch functions.)
Built-in Dive Simulator 'The Built-in Dive Simulator turns the computer into a powerful dive-planning tool, allowing you to map out several possible scenarios while on the surface, (including requisite decompression) allowing you to optimize dive time and plan for contingencies. '
SMART Technology SMART Technology uses mobile phone technology and helps the diver easily navigate the numerous functions of the computer.
