Ref: veo3.0
Good things come in threes. The Oceanic VEO 3.0 continues
Oceanic's tradition of designing rugged, feature-rich personal dive computers
that are intuitively easy to use and reasonably priced. Featuring Oceanic’s
exclusive Dual Algorithm, 2-Nitrox Mix Compatibility, Audible Alarms, 3-Button
Interface with settings "Step Back", and so much more. All in a strong,
lightweight "hockey-puck" module for your wrist or console.
- Powered by Oceanic's Exclusive Dual Algorithm™ - Your choice between
Pelagic DSAT (Spencer/Powell data basis) or Pelagic Z+ (Buhlmann ZHL-16C data
basis)
- Powered by Oceanic's Exclusive Dual Algorithm™ - lets you choose the
decompression algorithm basis that best suits your diving needs without compromising
safety
- 3 Operating Modes: NORM (Air and Nitrox), GAUGE (with run timer) and FREE
(tracks calculations to allow switching between NORM and Free)
- 3 Operating Buttons with "Step Back" interface – allows forward
and backward navigation through menus and settings
- Switch between up to 2 Nitrox mixes to 100% O2 with no restriction (Gas 1
may be up to 100%, and may be less or greater than Gas 2)
- Stop times <3 minutes - displays minutes & seconds
- Deep Stop with Countdown Timer – Maybe turned on or off. 2 minute countdown
at half your max depth, for dives greater than 80 ft / 25m
- Single button access to "Last Dive" display (max depth & bottom
time)
- Data Retention - maintains calculations indefinitely when the battery is changed
- Audible Alarm with flashing LED light
- SmartGlo Backlighting senses ambient light, enabling the backlight only in
low light conditions, conserving battery life
- 24 dive on-unit log book
- History Mode includes total number of dives, max depth, total dive hours,
and lowest temp
- Optional PC Interface with OceanLog Download and Settings Upload
- Firmware Auto-Update: download and install the latest firmware – these
may be operational improvements or even new features
Dual
Algorithm™ Technology:
Choose the one dive computer that’s liberal, conservative or
middle-of-the-road. Oceanic’s new Veo offers Dual Algorithm™ technology,
letting you choose the decompression algorithm that best suits your diving needs
without compromising safety.
Choose Pelagic DSAT for:
Liberal Recreational Diving
The Pelagic DSAT Algorithm safely maximizes dive time for repetitive, multi-level
recreational diving. This algorithm relies on the human Doppler studies used
to develop PADI’s Recreational Dive Planner (RDP), and has been the basis
of Oceanic's and other manufacturer's computer algorithms for many years.
To add additional conservatism, you can also adjust the:
- Tissue-Loading Bar Graph Alarm
- Conservative Factor Setting
Choose Pelagic Z+ for:
Conservative Recreational Diving:
When applied to standard recreational diving, the Pelagic Z+ Algorithm basis
increases the conservative factor of the Veo by 15-20%.
Liberal Repetitive Deep and Decompression Diving:
The Pelagic Z+ uses the Buhlmann ZHL-16C database, which was conducted to meet
the more rigorous demands of repetitive, cold-water decompression diving at
altitude. The Pelagic Z+ mode maximizes dive times at depth without penalties.
Dive in sync with any buddy, anywhere:
Because the Veo allows you to adjust the algorithm basis and its conservatism,
you can adjust to closely match just about any other dive computer on the market,
allowing you and any buddy to always dive in sync. Diving the same profile increases
safety for both divers, and eliminates the need for one person to conduct a
much longer or deeper stop when buddying with someone wearing a more liberal
dive computer. On repetitive dives, there is no more waiting for the more conservative
dive computer to clear. Both buddies will be ready to enter the water at the
same time and can continue to dive the same profiles. You can’t control
which dive computer your buddy wears, but you can control your ability to dive
the same profile.
Added Features:
- New lens / button assembly
- New keeper design
- Graphics

as the digital %
- ALT display of the last dive information (Max depth & bottom time)
- Set date format is set independed of the unit
