State of the Art Dive Computers
The VR computers are the most up to date computers on the market. 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.
Convenient and user-friendly
Improved display & Backlight Reduced Size & Weight Auto Turn On Single AA Battery On-Screen Graphical Dive Profiles New Helium Algorithms Multi Language Dive Planning - which allows for current tissue saturation's to be taken into account Calendars Games to play while waiting at deco stops! The core function of the VR3 remains as a multi gas, reprogrammable dive computer for use with open and closed circuit diving.
Questions & Answers:
Q: Can I see how I am diving while submerged? A: Both while underwater and on the surface (in calendar mode) you can see a graph of your dive.
Q: Some days I air dive and others I trimix dive, is it easy to switch configurations? A: 'Profile' mode allows three specific setups (gas list, safety factor) to be programmed and easily switched between.
Q: Will it calculate a variable and stepped ceiling decompression? A: Our unique diver icon allows the user to run a curved decompression profile or stepped one if they prefer.
Q: I want to download without the hassles of a cable. A: The VR3 employs a wireless infra red PC communication system for downloading dives and uploading information to the VR3.
Q: Can I set it up without the PC? A: All features can be programmed on the VR3 its self.
Q: I want to plan backup tables, do I still need a laptop? A: The new 'Diveplan' mode allows you to calculate a set of backup tables on screen based on your current gas set and set-up.
Q: Can I play games when I get bored decompressing? A: Nobody likes being bored. More games planned!.
Q: Will it interface to my rebreather? A: A cable system is available to interface to a range of rebreathers in order to calculate decompression 'on-line' Can I change the battery myself? A: Any AA battery (1.5 to 3.6v) can be used.
Q: What if I undertake more training?. Will the VR3 work at my new level of certification? A: The VR3 is software re-programmable, not only can you buy and activate new levels with our unique PIN system, but as new technology becomes available it can be upgraded.
Q: Can I change gas and also change the gas content underwater? A: Any of the ten gases can be made into anything else at any time!
Q: Will it calculate 'look -ahead' decompression based on all my selected gases? A: Any time a change is made to the gas list the prediction is updated.
Q: Can it calculate for closed circuit and open circuit bailouts? A: Variable setpoints can be programmed and open circuit bailouts catered for.
Q: Can I change the safety factor? A: Safety factors can be set from 0 to 50%
Integrated High Pressure LinkWith our optional high pressure link cable connected and the appropriate software enabled, you can monitor your air or gas supply, measure your breathing rate and see at a glance how much time you have remaining at depth before you reach your reserve pressure.
Dive Logging SoftwareVR2 and VR3 owners can buy our Prodive dive logging software package that will enable them to download dives from your 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 VR2 and VR3. 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.
