If you demand the most out of your dive equipment and expect nothing but the best, look no further than Suunto's VYTEC DS hose-less dive computer. This computer reinforces Suunto's dedication to produce the most feature-rich computers available. Building on the reliable and easy-to-use Vyper and Cobra, the Vytec DS offers additional features such as multi-gas switching optional wireless tankpressure transmission, multiple decompression options. The VYTEC DS keeps you in charge of your diving experience knowledge is power. With the VYTEC DS, you have all of the power you could hope for.

The Suunto Vytec DS enables the technically oriented diver to switch gases during the dive. When in Nitrox mode the user can preset up to three different gas mixes containing from 21% to 99% oxygen. Preferred gas mixes can be stored as defaults, and can be set ON or OFF for each dive, or modified as needed.

The Suunto Vytec DS provides easy and reliable gas switching between enabled gases during the dive. Gas switching is allowed only for gases that lie within chosen maximum PO2 limits. CNS and OTU values are displayed using an Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) bar graph.

The Vytec DS is available as a complete package, including the wireless transmitter that is attached to the regulator high pressure port. It can also be purchased as a stand alone computer, with the option to add the transmitter later. The wireless operation can easily be enabled or disabled in the Vytec DS's settings. With the wireless transmission enabled, the Vytec DS displays tank pressure and calculates remaining air time based on current gas consumption. The wireless transmission can be used in Air, Nitrox, and Gauge modes. The pressure transmitter is 4500 PSI compatible, and has user replaceable batteries. In the Gauge mode, the Vytec DS works as a bottom timer also providing accurate profile sampling and book marking functions. The dive timer can be reset and displays the dive time in minutes and seconds, a feature extremely useful for timing accurate bottom times and decompression stops.

The Vytec DS, like all Suunto computers, uses the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) algorithm for decompression calculations. And this computer also features an additional Suunto innovation a user adjustable RGBM function to dampen the repetitive dive impact during multiple dives over multiple days. During set-up, the user selects either the RGBM 100 routine, or the more aggressive RGBM 50 routine.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Vytec DS" Hoseless Air/Nitrox Computer Wrist Unit Only (no Transmitter):

This is by far the best computer I have ever used. I started off trying out various manufactures computers and stumbled upon this little gem one day. Well I fell in love with it instantly and bit the bullet and bought it a few years back. The original purpose of the computer was for recreational use and i figured when i went tech it would be time for a new one. Well although it is an over price bottom timer it is by far the easiest computer to use, well at least for me. The only drawback is that I feel bad for not getting in the water more with it. Oh and still on the original battery after 4 years. The warning just came on the other day. So time for a battery change.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Vytec DS" Hoseless Air/Nitrox Computer Wrist Unit Only (no Transmitter):

As a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer I find it a very robust and trust worthy tool. But I do not recommend it to my students as the features it contains are not required by standard Open water recreational divers.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Vytec DS" Hoseless Air/Nitrox Computer Wrist Unit Only (no Transmitter):

I got this the same time I bought the D9 (got to have redundancy). I have been using this dive computer ever since I became a divemaster (PADI). It is readily able to sync up and I have yet to have an issue. Over 25 dives on it, in regions ranging from New England, to Seattle, to Utila. The functionality has just worked. Final note, Suunto is known for their conservative dive profiles, but I welcome the safety over dive time. You can't go wrong with this, plus at these prices, very much worth it.

Go enjoy the dive and know your information is simply a wrist turn away.

So far, I have logged almost 100 dives since switching to the Vytec DS with Wireless Transmitter in March (2007). The computer is easy to use and reliable. I have had no issues with connecting the computer to the wireless transmitter and have always had an accurate pressure reading.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Vytec DS" Hoseless Air/Nitrox Computer Wrist Unit Only (no Transmitter):

Easy to use to 3 gas switching on my technical dives off the coast of NC. Also use it in my cave dives. Buttons are much easier to use that the water-contact type of Uwatecs. Also a big plus because the display and buttons are the same as my Vyper that I use for recreational diving. Easy to use electronic log book is a plus also.
