Questions about this item:
Cris D What is the difference between the D6, D6i and D4i? Thanks
DUNCAN M I don't know, but be aware that getting this computer serviced can be challenging. The warranty is not a life time warranty and after a couple of years my D6 developed problems that were only covered by some type pro-rated warranty ... it was going to cost me $600+ to get a $800 computer repaired two (2) years after I bought it.
I have owned and used a Suunto D6, D4, and now I'm using a Suunto Voop. I chose not to have the D6 repaired and my D4 needs a battery. That is another problem ... Suunto dive computers have to be sent in to the repair shop to have batteries replaced. I live in Nassau so this is not as easy as if I lived in the States.
I like my D6 and my D4, but difficulty with service and routine maintenance had turned me off a bit.

Shopper what is the difference between regular D6 and D6 military?
MICHAEL L Hi there.
There is physically no difference between the 2 models. They both have exactly the functionality.
The military version is completely black opposed to the normal stainless steel face.
You can find quite a number of pictures on the net for the military version.
SCOTT K I have the D6. Sorry but I can't help you. I didn't know there was a D6 military.
Shopper Do the D6 and the D4 count down the safety stop? Do both use the same algorithm?
LeisurePro S Yes, both computers have a safety stop countdown timer and use the RGBM algorithm.

Shopper Are the bars on the side just grey and then red? If so, can an alarm be set to alert when going into "yellow" zone?

LeisurePro S Sorry, unfortunately, we don't carry that specific protector. If you would like, you can check out this watch protector. Otherwise, I would try and get in contact with Sunnto directly.
Shopper Does the D4, D6 have plastic or glass over the face?

Warranty Information
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.
Whats in the box:Computer, Digital Online Class If you see diving more as a way of life than as a hobby, then the Suunto D6 is the computer for you. By wearing the D6 during your dives, you're able to record information about each dive's maximum depth, directions traveled, time at depth, and decompression information. The easy-to-read display offers you the ability to quickly review your dive's crucial statistics. Because of Suunto's integrated RGBM system, the D6 allows you to make repeated stops at various depths, instead of making a more traditional single safety stop to decompress. This feature allows you to maximize your time below the surface without compromising your safety. If diving with Nitrox, the D6 offers you the ability to easily switch between gases during the dive, which means you can alter your oxygen levels as you ascend, reducing the length of your required decompression stop.
- Gas-switching functionality
- Air and Nitrox-compatible
- Bottom timer (Gauge mode)
- Integrated digital compass
- Safety features: Decompression stop calculator, Ascent rate indicator
- PC download compatible
- Electronic dive log
