Suunto Fused RGBM

Suunto dive computers are known to be conservative. While it’s by no means a bad thing to dive well within your limits, advanced divers usually prefer a slightly less conservative algorithm. The new Suunto Fused RGBM algorithm combines the Suunto Technical RGBM and the latest full RGBM to maximize bottom time and minimize ascent time. It supports dives down to 492 ft (150m).

Impressive set of features and full-color display

Use the custom interface to access EON Steel’s impressive set of features, such as multi-gas diving, the digital tilt-compensated 3D compass, display contrast, temperature display, decompression data, customizable alarms, optional deepstop settings, altitude adjustment and air integration. Even with the thickest dive gloves you can easily use the intuitive 3-button interface. The innovative wide-angle BrightSee full-color display offers unrivaled clarity and ensures visibility in all conditions.

Multi-tank pressure readings and multi-gas diving

The Suunto EON Steel is equipped to support air, nitrox and trimix (up to 10 gas mixes) and has a fixed-point rebreather mode. It can support up to 10 wireless tank pressure transmitters.
