5. Scuba diving
Besides being a device capable of 24/7 activity monitoring and sports tracking, Suunto Ocean
is a dive computer designed to be used for recreational scuba diving and freediving.
WARNING: Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays and limitations of your
dive computer, because diving involves risks and ultimately you are responsible for your own
safety.
5.1. Dive safety
Suunto Ocean is a dive computer designed to be used for recreational scuba diving and
freediving. The device displays essential information before, during and after the dive to
enable safe decision making. Suunto Ocean can be used as a standalone product or in
combination with the Suunto Tank POD, which measures the tank pressure and transmits the
pressure reading information to the dive computer. The combination of Suunto Ocean and the
Suunto Tank POD is categorized as Personal Protective Equipment under the EU Regulation
2016/425 and protects against risks listed under PPE Risk Category III (a): substances and
mixtures which are hazardous to health.
Suunto strongly recommends that you do not engage in any diving activity type without
proper training and a complete understanding and acceptance of the risks. Always follow the
rules of your training agency.
Make sure you fully understand how to use your dive instrument and what its limitations are
by reading all the printed documentation and the online user manual. Always remember that
you are responsible for your own safety.
WARNING: All computers experience failures. It is possible that this device may suddenly
fail to provide accurate information during your dive. Always use a backup dive device and
only dive with a buddy.
WARNING: Because any decompression model is purely theoretical and does not
monitor the actual body of a diver, there is always a risk of decompression illness (DCI) for
any dive. An individual’s physiological makeup can vary from day to day. The dive computer
cannot account for these variations. You are strongly advised to remain well within the
exposure limits provided by the dive computer to minimize the risk of DCI.
WARNING: If you suspect risk factors that tend to increase the possibility of DCI exist,
Suunto recommends that you use the personal setting to make calculations more
conservative and consult a physician with experience in diving medicine before you dive.
WARNING: When diving at altitudes greater than 300 m (980 ft), the altitude setting must
be correctly selected for the computer to calculate the decompression status. Failure to
select the correct altitude setting or diving above the maximum altitude limit will result in
erroneous dive and planning data. It is recommended that you acclimatize to the new
altitude before diving. Always use the same personal and altitude adjustment settings for the
actual dive and for the planning.
