4.9. Customizing dive modes with Suunto app
You can easily customize device and dive settings, such as dive modes and views with Suunto
app. Create up to 10 different dive modes with up to four custom views each.
You can customize the following:
Dive mode name
•
Settings (e.g., personal setting, views, gases)
•
See 5.7. How to customize dive modes with Suunto app for more information.
4.10. Decompression algorithms
Suunto's decompression model development originates from the 1980s when Suunto
implemented Bühlmann's model based on M-values in Suunto SME. Since then research and
development has been ongoing with the help of both external and internal experts.
In the late 1990s, Suunto implemented Dr. Bruce Wienke's RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubble
Model) to work with the earlier M-value based model. The first commercial products with the
feature were the iconic Suunto Vyper and Suunto Stinger. With these products the
improvement of diver safety was significant as they addressed a number of diving
circumstances outside the range of dissolved-gas-only models by:
Monitoring continuous multiday diving
•
Computing closely spaced repetitive diving
•
Reacting to a dive deeper than the previous dive
•
Adapting to rapid ascents which produce high microbubble (silent-bubble) build-up
•
Incorporating consistency with real physical laws for gas kinetics
•
Suunto EON Steel Black has two decompression algorithms available: Suunto Fused™ RGBM
2 algorithm and Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm. Choose the appropriate algorithm for your dive
under Dive settings » Parameters » Algorithm.
NOTE: All decompression models are theoretical and have their benefits and limitations.
When you choose the appropriate decompression algorithm and personal setting or gradient
factors for your dive, always take your personal factors, the planned dive, and your dive
training into consideration.
NOTE: Although it is possible, changing the algorithm between dives is not
recommended when no-fly time calculation is active.
NOTE: Make sure your Suunto dive computer always has the latest software with
updates and improvements. Check before every dive trip from www.suunto.com/support, if
Suunto has released a new software update for your device. When a new software update is
available, you must install it before diving. Updates are made available to improve your user
experience and are part of Suunto's philosophy of continuous product development and
improvement.

The Suunto Fused™ RGBM 2 combines and improves widely respected Suunto RGBM and
Suunto Fused™ RGBM decompression models developed by Suunto together with Dr. Bruce
