The Suunto Stinger is the only Advanced Computer Watch in the world with separate Air, Nitrox and Free/Gauge modes, every one included with detailed profile memory. It is a full decompression dive computer and beautifully constructed compact-size watch in a rock-solid package. A multitude of advanced features such as nitrox, freediving, gauge modes, user selectable metric/imperial units, safety stop countdown, adjustable profile memory sampling rate, underwater stopwatch and bookmarks are easily accessible. The decompression calculations are made with the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model, SRGBM. DIVE COMPUTER FUNCTIONS As a highly sophisticated multi-level dive computer in every sense Stinger monitors and reports vital information such as your dive time, current depth, maximum depth, no-decompression time and ascent time. As in the Vyper and Cobra, Stinger implements the ceiling and floor feature. The Floor is the deepest depth at which the ascent time will not increase. The Ceiling is the shallowest depth to which you should ascend. These depths will provide the range at which the diver most efficiently will utilize the decompression stop. Stinger offers two patented customizable displays giving you the freedom to choose before each dive what your Stinger displays during the dive. When underwater the chosen displays can be alternated with other displays for 5 seconds by push of a button. The Stinger can be adjusted for diving at altitudes up to 3000 m (10000 ft) and a personal level of conservatism can be added if desired. Stinger enables you to set dive time and maximum depth alarms before your dive. The clear blue electroluminescent backlight activates automatically when dive alarms are given, making the dive parameters clearly visible and legible. The system is highly energy-efficient with only minimal power drain. Stinger's built-in dive planning function helps you to plan your next dive by showing you the no-decompression time data for different depths. As a nitrox computer the Stinger can be programmed for nitrox mixtures of 21% to 50% oxygen in 1% increments and adjusted for oxygen partial pressure from 1.2 bar to 1.6 bar in 0.1 unit increments. Stinger gives both visual and audible alarms when the limit for oxygen partial pressure, CNS or OTU values are exceeded. For freediving Stinger introduces a one second precision timer with user changeable 2, 4, 10, 20, 30 or 60 second profile memory sampling rates. After 5 minutes of continuous diving in the Free mode the Stinger changes automatically to Gauge mode. In both Free and Gauge mode there is the option to use a run-time timer. This makes Stinger ideal also for technical and military diving. In Air and Nitrox modes, you get 36 diving hours profile memory with the default 20 second sampling rate setting. This sampling rate can be changed to 10, 30 or 60 seconds using the PC interface. Profile memory, as well as long-term history data, can be viewed from the Stinger display. For a more detailed dive logbook you can download your dives to a PC with the Suunto Dive Manager (SDM) software and interface.

WATCH FUNCTIONS As a watch the Stinger incorporates complete calendar clock functions, dual time, daily alarm and a stopwatch with elapsed time and split time measurement. If you choose to disable all the dive modes, the Stinger can even be used in water as a traditional dive watch, complete with stopwatch functions. DESIGN The casing of the instrument is all stainless steel and the display is scratch-resistant mineral glass. The Stinger's triple o-ring pushbuttons and monocase design without separate rear cover make it virtually leak proof. The pressure rating is 20 ATM (200 m/660 ft). The Stinger is available with a durable, gray elastomer strap, or optionally with a solid stainless steel bracelet with polished center-links. The bezel color is silver. The top-of-the-line model is the Stinger Titanium, with a solid titanium housing and bracelet. |
