The first reliable multi-level dive computer
did not appear on the market until the late eighties, when
first introduced they were very expensive pieces of equipment.
Since then with the advances in technology, namely microchips,
sensors, batteries and other electronic components; dive
computers have developed into an affordable device which
is now part of almost all divers standard equipment. The
main feature of a dive computer is to calculate dive tables
automatically which eliminates human error found in calculation
using dive tables. It also increases the value of every
dive trip as the results of the calculations are accurate
giving more time to simply go diving.
Modern dive computers come in two main forms:
1. Non-air integrated, and
2. Air integrated dive computers.
Non-air integrated are the most common dive
computers and are usually sold in gauge consoles with a
submersible pressure gauge, or as stand-alone modules that
can be installed in hose mount or wrist consoles. Basic
features of these include: current depth, no-decompression
time, max. depth, bottom time, and ascent rate. It is also
useful for the dive computer to have automatic activation
so you don’t even have to remember to turn on the
dive computer before your dive, it will kick in immediately
upon entering the water.
Air integrated computers provide all of
the features of a non-air integrated dive computer but include
an electronic device called a high-pressure transducer that
measures air pressure from your cylinder. Since the air
pressure information is in the form of electronic data that
can be used by the dive computers microprocessor, the computer
can measure your breating rate and calculate remaining air
time.
Many of the dive computers on the market
use Lithium chemistry based batteries, some of which are
common, others which are more difficult to find. Below is
a list of some of the common batteries Cell Pack solutions
stock which are used in many dive computers. If you can’t
find your battery here we also offer a service to source
hard to find batteries.
