types of scuba diving, for example, air, nitrox, trimix and CCR diving. In scuba diving
use Suunto EON Steel dive computer displays important information before, during

reading information to the Suunto EON Steel dive computer. The combination of
the EON Steel and the Tank POD is a Personal Protective Equipment under the EU
