VR Dive Computer

State of the Art Dive Computers

The VR computers are the most up to date computers on the market and we aim to keep them right there on the cutting edge of technology by adding useful options and fun features all the time. They are truly dive computers for the 21st century, interactive tools which meet the needs and match the lifestyle of those of you who are used to the advantages of mobile phones and PDAs in your surface existence and want similar technology to accompany you on your underwater adventures.

Key Features of the VR Dive Computer

  • Convenient and user-friendly
  • User-changeable AA battery, either 1.6V alkaline or 3.6V lithium
  • Easy-to-open battery cap with purose-built key
  • External switches mean the computer is fully programmable underwater
  • Variable light settings
  • Right/left wrist mountable

Multi Gas Programmable

You can install up to 10 pre-set gases in the VR Dive Computer's gas list; air, oxygen or any nitrox, trimix or heliox mixtures. The VR Dive Computer has a gauge mode so it can also double as a bottom timer.

The great thing with the VR computers is that no matter which gases are in the gas list, if you ever start a dive and realise on the way down that you have forgotten to set a gas you can always do this underwater and then carry on with your dive, making the appropriate deco adjustments.

Colour Your World!

Choose our VR Dive Computer and you will be the proud owner of the world's first full colour dive computer. With the backlight keeping the colours bright at any depth, you will be amazed at the difference from standard monochrome screens.

Upgradeable

VR Dive Computers grow with you as your diving career progresses. Start off with the base Air and Nitrox model and if you eventually get into rebreather diving you do not need a new dive computer, you just upgrade your VR Dive Computer. Most upgrades are avaiable over the telephone via a unique PIN system.

Unique Analyser Function

With the optional analyzer mode enabled and cable fitted, these are the only dive computers capable of operating also as an oxygen analyzer. Place the sensor on the end of the cable into the gas stream, measure the oxygen reading and set that into your gaslist. Very easy to use and saves you buying a separate analyzer.

Rebreather Interfaces

With the optional rebreather mode enabled and the cable fitted the VR Dive Computer is able to link up with both closed and semi-closed rebreathers to provide real time PO2 decompression monitoring and independent oxygen monitoring.

Dive Logging Software

VR Dive Computer owners can buy our Prodive dive logging software package that will enable them to download dives from their dive computer into a PC as well as upload gas profiles. A sample ProDive CD is supplied free of charge with each computer so that you can see how the programme works.

Reliable Decompression Algorithm

Proplanner was one of the first desk top decompression software programmes and it forms the basis for the decompression algorithm in the VR Dive Computer. It is based on the Buhlmann ZHL 16 algorithm and, in line with current thinking in decompression science, incorporates 2 minute deep stops on the ascent. These are designed to reduce the formation of microbubbles, which are thought to contribute to decompression illness.

Also available is our optional variable permeability model (VPM), an advanced algorithm for deep diving.

Excellent Local Service Back Up

We have a wide network of knowledgeable dealers in the UK and all over the world; we have a comprehensive website where you can find the answers to most questions you might have. And if all else fails you can always contact our Technical Support people.

Click For Frequently Asked VR Dive Computer Questions!

Can I see how I am diving while submerged?

If you purchase the graph profile option for the VR Dive Computer, both while underwater and on the surface you will be able to see a graph of your dive.

Will it calculate a variable and stepped ceiling decompression?

Our unique diver icon allows the user to run a curved decompression profile or stepped one if they prefer.

I want to download my dives to a PC.

The VR Dive Computer employs a wireless infra red PC communication system for downloading dives and uploading information. We are shortly introducing a hard wire cable alternative.

Can I set it up my VR Dive Computer without a PC?

All features can be programmed on the VR Dive Computer itself.

I want to plan backup tables, do I still need a laptop?

The 'Diveplan' mode allows you to calculate a set of backup tables on screen based on your current gas set-up.

Will it interface to my rebreather?

Cables are available to interface to a range of rebreathers so you can calculate real time decompression.

Can I change the battery myself?

Yes, of course. Any AA battery (1.5 to 3.6v) can be used.

What if I undertake more training?. Will the VR Dive Computer work at my new level of certification?

The VR Dive Computer is software re-programmable. Not only can you buy and activate new levels with our unique PIN system, but as new technology and features become available your VR Dive Computer can be upgraded.

Can I switch gas and also change the gas content underwater?

Any of the four gases you can set in the VR Dive Computer can be made into anything else at any time, on the surface or underwater!

Will it calculate 'look -ahead' decompression based on all my selected gases?

Any time a change is made to the gas list the prediction is updated.
