These are 0.7 and 1.3 as default, but both can be adjusted on the computer or via Suunto’s DM5 software. The Fused™ RGBM algorithm allows you to use the Eon Steel as a backup for closed circuit rebreather (CCR) diving.Ī constant ppO2 can be used, with two set points. As you remember from your open water course, the deeper you go, the faster your gas runs out, so this is a very useful tool to extend your dive time. GTR uses this figure to work out how long you can stay at the depth you’re at before you run out of gas. SAC is a calculation of how many liters or cubic feet per minute you are breathing. When paired with a POD, the display can be configured to show your surface air consumption (SAC) rate and your gas time remaining (GTR). In case of emergency (or if you’ve forgotten to add or remove a gas before the dive), it’s also possible to add or remove gases in dive mode. That does, however, mean it’s best to program all gases in before the dive and remember to remove any that you won’t be carrying.

These are used to calculate an accurate deco time with the computer assuming all gases will be used, rather than some previous algorithms that worked out a deco time based only on the gas that was currently being used. It’s possible to program up to ten different gases into the Eon Steel.

Great news for techies who want to monitor all of their gases, instructors who want to see how much their students are breathing, or mums and dads who want to keep an eye on how long the kids have left underwater. This computer supports more air integration units than we’ve ever seen with the ability to use a huge TEN transmitters (or ‘PODs’ as Suunto have called their new version of the transmitter) at once. Suunto warns that 0, -1 or -2 carries a higher risk of DCS however, so make sure you read their recommendations before changing it. You can change between +2 or +1 (more conservative), 0 (default) and -1 or -2 (less conservative). One of the best changes in the new Fused™ algorithm is the ability to not only make the model more conservative but also more aggressive. A scrollable bottom line can be configured to show the most relevant information for you. You can choose between three views: prominent (big), graphical (dial type indicators), and classical (text only). You can also set up four custom views for each mode, allowing you to switch between screens when you’re underwater to see even more information. The Eon Steel allows you to change which information is visible such as multi-gases, temperature, maximum depth, and so on. This is very handy for people who switch from single gas recreational to mixed gas technical diving or instructors who like to have a different set up when they’re teaching compared to when they’re doing their own personal diving. You can set up to ten different dive modes for different situations making it easy to switch between different setups according to what kind of diving you’re doing. If you have less than two hours of battery time remaining, a pop-up message saying “recharge needed” will appear and you cannot start a dive, a safety feature that should stop you from running out of battery mid-dive.

The color-coded indicator shows you if the battery is charging (green icon), contains enough charge (between full and three hours, white icon) or has three hours or less power remaining (red icon).

The good news is that you can disable the audible alarms in settings prior to the dive if, like this reviewer, you hate any kind of beeping during your dive. These show up as both visual and audible alarms. You can set alarms for four different warnings on the Eon Steel: depth, dive time, tank pressure, and gas time remaining.
