D6 - A Deeper Understanding

Suunto D6 has three dive modes: Air, Nitrox, and Gauge. The Air mode is used for diving with standard air, the Nitrox mode for one or two nitrox mixes, and the Gauge mode for use as a bottom timer.

When in Nitrox mode, you can accelerate decompression by switching to a gas mix with a higher oxygen percentage. You can preset two different gas mixes (with between 21 and 99% oxygen) and set PO2 values for each individual gas. While diving, it's quick and easy to switch between enabled gas mixes. Gas switching is only allowed for gases that lie within the chosen maximum PO2 limits. CNS and OTU values are displayed using an Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) bar graph.

In the Gauge mode, Suunto D6 works as a bottom timer, and also provides accurate profile sampling and book-marking functions. A dive timer with a reset function displays the dive time in minutes and seconds. This is extremely useful for timing accurate bottom times and decompression stops.

The integrated digital compass can be accessed from either Time mode or Dive mode, meaning that it's as useful on dry land as it is beneath the waves. The Suunto D6 displays a graphical representation of a compass rose. The rose displays the cardinal and half cardinal points, and the current bearing is also displayed numerically. A bearing can be locked to help you follow a selected course, and directional arrows point towards the locked bearing.

INFORMATION IN ACTION

Suunto D6 is packed with solutions that help you make safe and responsible decisions underwater. Depth, time, and directional information, together with complete decompression-stop data, ensure that you know precisely how long you have been underwater, how deep you are, where you are, and what is your ascent speed.

Suunto D6 incorporates Suunto RGBM, which allows you to choose a deep stop algorithm. This enables you to make iterative stops at depth instead of the traditional safety stop. During a decompression dive, this function allows you to make the most of your time underwater without jeopardizing your safety.

In addition to its versatile dive functionality, Suunto D6 also boasts extensive memory and logbook functions that enable you to keep track of your past dives, monitor your progress and plan your training.

 

SUUNTO SOFTWARE

Suunto Dive Manager (SDM) is downloadable software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto D6.
With SDM you can download your dives to a PC and create a more detailed dive logbook. You can also analyze and plan your diving activities. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.
