Suunto Zoop Novo Dive Computers

Product Information

THE nitrox capable dive computer for everyone from beginners to experienced recreational divers! It grows with you as your diving advances overtime. Both the Suunto Zoop Novo and Cressi Leonardo are designed as entry-level dive computers. Because they are durable, reliable, and easy to use, both are popular choices for new divers and dive schools alike.

The decompression range is the depth range between the ceiling and floor. Within this range, decompression takes place. However, it is important to remember that the decompression slower at or close to the floor compared to the ceiling zone. Though not recommended, you may break (ignore) deepstops and safety stops. Suunto Zoop Novo penalizes such actions with additional stops or other measures, either during the dive or on following dives. For more information, see Safety stops and deepstops.Suunto uses its own customized RGBM model which was developed in collaboration with Dr. Bruce Wienke. Unlike the classic Haldane models still used in some dive computers, the Suunto RGBM predicts free gas as well as dissolved gas in the tissue of divers. As we all know, there are a number of factors that can increase your risk of DCS. If you’re diving and you know you carry certain DCS risk factors (age, obesity, circulatory issues), the Zoop Novo allows you to adjust the algorithm to be more conservative, providing an extra level of safety. Each approach has its pros and cons. With a single button, you’re not going to get confused about which to press. But we found it tiresome having to navigate through so many menus just to find the item we needed. Display information on the Zoop Novo can be shown in metric or imperial, and Fahrenheit or Celsius. Nitrox Compatible If you exceed the no-decompression limit on a dive, when NO DEC TIME reaches zero, your dive changes into a decompression dive. Therefore, you must perform one or more decompression stops on your way to the surface.

If you ascend above the ceiling during a decompression stop, a downward arrow appears in from of the ceiling depth, and a continuous beeping starts.When you ascend above the floor, the ASC TIME text stops blinking and the upward arrow disappears, as shown below. When you reach the ceiling zone, the display will show you two arrows pointing at each other as shown below.

If you are returning something because it does not fit, is the wrong colour or is unsuitable you will need to pay for the return postage.This indicates you are in the decompression range. Decompression begins, but slowly. Therefore, you should continue your ascent. At the ceiling The ascent time shown on your dive computer is the minimum amount of time needed to reach the surface on a decompression dive. This includes: You may surface only after ASC TIME and CEILING have disappeared. This means that the decompression stop and any mandatory safety stop have been completed. Below is an example of a decompression dive with a ceiling of 3 m and total ascent time of 9 minutes. Both offer air, Nitrox (to 50%), and gauge modes. In addition, the Zoop Novo has a freediving and an off mode.

Memory capacity: approximately 60 hours with 20-second recording interval and without transmitter data. With transmitter data, the capacity is approximately 40 hours. In free dive mode (2-second recording interval), maximum capacity is 3 hours. At first glance, it’s easy to think there’s not much separating these two. Both have nice big displays and offer similar functionality. Looking closer, the main difference is how you access these functions. The Zoop Novo has four navigation buttons while the Leonardo has just one.

If you exceed the NDL on a dive, the Zoop Novo provides the decompression information you require to make a safe ascent. Rather than making a number of stops at fixed depths, the computer allows you to decompress within a range of depths by continually correcting the rate and ceiling depth as you ascend. This offer excludes large items (Kayaks, SUP,canoes, waterski’s) and hazardous products, lift rafts, distress flares, electronics. When the decompression dive starts, the NO DEC TIME on your display is replaced by ASC TIME, and a CEILING indicator appears. An upward pointing arrow also prompts you to start your ascent. The floor is the deepest depth at which the decompression stop time does not increase. Decompression starts when you pass this depth during your ascent.
