Suunto, the global market leader in dive computers, introduces its popular Suunto D4 dive computer with new white version. Suunto D4 is a full-decompression wristop dive computer designed to put information, ease of use, and style first. Its four operating modes, dive planning and analysis functions make Suunto D4 a choice for those who value functionality and ease of use.
Whether on well-earned annual dive holiday or honing free diving skills, Suunto D4 keeps the user informed and aware every meter of the way. It tells the diver of the safe dive time and any necessary deep stops, to make every dive as carefree as possible.
The new white Suunto D4 fulfills the D4 color selection. The new strap can also be bought as individual accessories making it easy to choose the style that suits the user best.
With its innovative free dive functions and dedicated free dive mode, Suunto D4 is also a choice for breath-hold diving. The dive time, in minutes and seconds, is clearly visible in the center of the display. Programmed to sample depth three times a second, Suunto D4 records highly accurate data on the true depth reached. Surface time and depth alarms help the diver make responsible decisions both in and out of the water.
In both Air and Nitrox mode, the clear, easy-to-read screen can display the current and maximum depth; current time, dive time, and decompression time; and temperature. Audible and visual depth and time alarms warn when it's time to start the ascent. In Nitrox mode, the user can increase the time underwater by adjusting the oxygen content of gas between 21% and 50% and adjust the PO2 limit between 0.5 and 1.6 bar.
Like other advanced Suunto dive computers, Suunto D4 uses the Suunto RGBM algorithm for decompression calculations. It also allows the diver to choose between taking traditional safety stops or, with the Deep Stops feature activated, taking the safety stops at depth. Before diving, the no-stop-time planner helps to prepare for the dive. By entering the planned maximum depth of the dive, the Suunto D4 will tell how long to dive before needing a decompression stop. After diving all the data in the logbook can instantly be reviewed. Suunto D4 is also compatible with the optional Suunto Dive manager PC software, which provides more in-depth analysis and graphical representation of the dives.
The Suunto D4 not only serves as a functional diving watch, but also as a total timepiece. With dual time, calendar date, daily alarm, and stopwatch, it doesn’t need to be taken off when the dive is over.
Constructed from lightweight, composite material, the Suunto D4’s design is contemporary and sleek. Suunto D4 comes with a scratch guard that helps to protect the display against scratching.
