Oceanic Pro Plus 3 Scuba Diving Computer with Compass Dive Comp Best New Box

Description

No more squinting. Dive Computers are supposed to deliver crucial data quickly and w/o confusion. Oceanic agrees. That is why the Pro-Plus 3 combines a huge display area, the largest most legible digits on the market and an intuitive user interface w/major feature enhancement. See it for yourself. Take the Oceanic challenge: When shopping for a new dive computer, compare the displays. When it comes to viewing critical information, which would you rather see at 100' (30m)?
Air Time Remaining (ATR):
The Air Time Remaining feature calculates current depth, tank pressure, breathing rate, ascent time, & decompression status to tell you exactly how much time you can remain underwater. The Pro Plus 3 continually displays ATR via a numerical bar graph in addition to cylinder pressure. You may also display ATR in oversized digits at any time with the press of a button.
Dive Time Remaining (DTR):
Dive Time Remaining, like ATR provides a 'real' number in minutes. This calculation combines ATR, nitrogen, and oxygen absorption, displaying whichever allows less time. Is it a good idea to check your computer before entering the water? You bet. Could you forget to activate your computer? Sure. The Pro Plus-3 features push button or automatic activation, triggered by water contact. A benefit of push button activation is easily verifying operation and cylinder pressure, but in case you forget, or simply choose not to activate your computer, it can be as simple as jumping in the water.
Audible alarms w/flashing LED warning light & acknowledgment:
The Pro Plus 3 features a variety of system & user customized audible alarms, alerting you to situations that pose a potential danger, or simply serve as a convenient reminder. Have you ever had difficulty hearing your computer's audible alarm? Perhaps that little beep signifying a potentially dangerous situation was timed perfectly with some large exhaust bubbles rushing past your ears. Or maybe it seemed to be insignificant as that huge manta ray soared overhead. You won't miss the Pro Plus 3's audible alarm. Once triggered, the alarm will sound continuously for 10 seconds. Oceanic knows what you are thinking That's nice, I'll definitely hear the alarm, but isn't that going to annoy me and everyone else in the water?" Oceanic thought of that too. The alarm's job is to get your attention so that you look at the computer. Once it does that, simply press the button and it will stop. You are a responsible diver and Oceanic treats you that way. If you really want to exceed your pre-set maximum depth alarm by a couple of feet to capture that award-winning photograph go ahead!
Air or Nitrox:
The Pro Plus 3 acts simply as an ½Air' computer until you tell it otherwise, whether that is this weekend or 2 years down the road. As your training and experience grow, the Pro Plus 3 is designed to grow with you, being easily programmed for Nitrox mixtures from 21% to 100%.
Oceanic Personal Dive Computer Algorithm:
Decompression theory can be trusted only as far as it has been demonstrated by actual test dive data. In 1987 a unique series of experiments were conducted by Diving Science and Technology (DSAT). Commissioned by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), these doppler ultrasound monitored human experiments conducted by Dr. Michael Powell produced the most comprehensive data set that exists for recreational divers to this day. These data were used to validate the PADI Recreational Dive Planner & are the basis of the algorithm used in all Oceanic personal dive computers (PDCs). The ultimate adjustable algorithm that is the way divers, instructors and Oceanic Pro Dealers refer to Oceanic PDCs. Oceanic's color coded bar graphs provide complete control of your margin of safety for each dive. Want to be a bit more cautious? Make it a personal rule to never enter the yellow caution zone, or stay one pixel away, or you get the point. Now you can even program several of Oceanic's PDCs to do it for you with Oceanic's patent pending nitrogen bar graph alarm; set it once & let computer alert you when bar graph reaches that level.
Automatic Safety Stop Prompt:
A brief audible & visual alarm remind you as you approach 15' (4.6m), & an automatic 3-minute timer counts down to zero. As in any other dive mode, you still have access to other pieces of information, & there is no penalty should you choose to disregard the safety stop.
Choose Your Dive Mode Display:
The new Pro Plus 3 is as versatile underwater as it is topside. Upon starting your dive, the Pro Plus 3 will simply display your current depth, how long you can stay & cylinder pressure. While many divers have asked for such simplicity & ease of use, you know that with all the Pro Plus 3's features, there must be more. And there is. Simply press the button to see more information. Is this information important to you on a full-time basis? Leave it there. Just want to check it & then move on to another display? You can do that too. It is up to you & your Pro Plus 3.
Other features of the Pro Plus 3 are: Fast set menu w/dual button operation, 12/24 hour format, date & time stamp, user friendly mode icons, graphic user interface recognizable logic of green, yellow and red color-coding in conjunction w/bar graphs, the diver has at-a-glance information, automatically compensation for altitude up to 14,000' (4,270m), diver replaceable CR2 battery, battery hot swap, 24-hour fly countdown and calculated de-saturation time, variable ascent rate indicator, depth dependent ascent rate, SmartGlo backlighting for low light conditions, 24 dive on-unit log book, optional Ocean-Log PC interface & PC upload, extended range gauge mode & much more!
The Oceanic Pro Plus 3 can display in imperial or metric measurements, has an operational depth of 330' (100m), displays pressure from 0 to 5,000 psi (0 to 352 bars) & displays temperature from 0½ to 99½F (-9½ to 60½C), comes in a durable impact resistant case w/attachment points for lanyards or clips w/a 7/16" threaded HP hose, & owner's manual.
The SideScan is a dual-purpose liquid filled compass. The Side Scan window allows quick reference of large, easy-to-read bearing indicators on a luminescent display for gun sight accuracy. Or, for divers who prefer relative navigation, the ratchet bezel can be rotated easily even with thick neoprene gloves. The dial rests on a precision jeweled bearing and incorporates extremely strong magnets for super quick response and accuracy. The compass 360½ rotating bezel has compass headings in 30½ numbered increments and indicator marks for every 10½ s. Bezel has twin heading indicators for alignment of compass course, and a lubber line across the compass face.
