Suunto Unveils the Nautic Series Dive Computers
At the DEMA Show in 2025, Suunto, the renowned Finnish brand specializing in precision instruments, introduced its latest dive computer series: the Suunto Nautic and Suunto Nautic S. These state-of-the-art devices represent a significant advancement in the realm of dive technology, designed to cater to divers of all levels, from recreational to professional.
A Legacy of Exploration
With a history dating back to 1936, Suunto has always been at the forefront of navigational technology. The launch of the Nautic series continues this rich legacy, paying homage to the brand’s nautical roots, where the Latin word 'nauticus' signifies 'of ships and sailors'. This echoes Suunto's commitment to providing divers with reliable tools that enhance their underwater adventures.
The Suunto Nautic: For Adventurous Divers
The Suunto Nautic stands as a comprehensive dive computer tailored for serious divers searching for durability and versatility. It boasts an impressive 3.26-inch AMOLED display—the largest of its kind—ensuring excellent readability under various diving conditions. With a resolution of 720x382, divers can seamlessly access vital information, whether they are exploring colorful coral reefs or navigating through murky waters.
Despite its advanced features, the Nautic is engineered for remarkable battery performance, with the ability to sustain up to 120 hours of continuous diving under medium brightness settings. In more demanding environments, the device lasts up to 80 hours at full brightness. Moreover, for regular users making about one dive each week, a single charge can power the device for up to nine months.
Key features of the Suunto Nautic include:
- - Support for single and multi-gas dives,
- - Customizable alarms,
- - Built-in compass,
- - Wireless compatibility for tank pressure,
- - Advanced customization options for viewing dive data.
This device also caters to technical divers with features like trimix support and the Bühlmann 16 dive algorithm, ensuring precise decompression planning. Furthermore, it accommodates closed-circuit rebreathers with an upcoming software update while supporting sidemount diving with dual tank pressure displays.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find added functionality with GPS, weather forecasts, and tide information, making the Nautic not just a dive computer but a versatile tool for planning and executing dives. It even features a built-in LED flashlight for increased safety during low-light conditions.
Suunto Nautic S: Compact and Functional
For those who prefer a more compact solution, the Suunto Nautic S offers similar features in a wrist-friendly design. This pared-down version leverages the same AMOLED technology but focuses solely on underwater functionality, excluding non-diving smartwatch features that may overwhelm serious divers.
The Nautic S is designed specifically for scuba divers and free divers, supporting dives up to a depth of 80 meters and featuring an impressive battery life of up to 60 hours. Its lightweight design, coupled with an elastic textile strap, ensures comfort during lengthy underwater explorations.
Additional features for the Nautic S include:
- - Compatibility with Suunto’s heart rate belt and Tank POD,
- - Customization of dive views,
- - Comprehensive audio and vibration alerts for divers.
Extending the Dive Experience with the Suunto App
Both the Nautic and Nautic S devices work seamlessly with the Suunto app, which enhances the functionality of underwater logbooks. Divers can track their dive routes, add intricate details to their logs, and share experiences with fellow dive enthusiasts, creating a digital archive of their adventures.
Pricing and Accessibility
The Suunto Nautic is available for $699 when purchased with a bungee cord, while the version with an elastic textile strap is priced at $725. For those interested in the package that includes a bungee cord and Tank Pod, the cost is $999. The Suunto Nautic S is available for $499, providing divers with access to cutting-edge technology at an accessible price.
