1. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SUUNTO DIVING INSTRUMENTS

Suunto HelO2 was designed to help you get the most out of your diving.

With easy-to-use PC dive planner and gas switching, Suunto HelO2 simplifies your diving experience because all the information you need relating to depth, time, tank pressure, and decompression status is available on one easy-to-read screen.

To get the most out of your Suunto HelO2, please read this instruction manual carefully and make sure you understand the use, displays, and limitations of the instrument before using it. To make life easier, we've included a glossary of dive-specific terminology at the back of the manual.

1.1. Using HelO2 with Dive Manager and Dive Planner

Suunto HelO2 is designed to be used together with Suunto Dive Planner and Suunto Dive Manager. They both are PC programs for planning and managing your dive data. While HelO2 is used during a dive, the Dive Manager is used for uploading the dive data to your PC and the Dive Planner for planning any subsequent dives using the uploaded dive data as a basis.
