Suunto Fused™ RGBM

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS WITH SUUNTO Fused RGBMOver 30 years of development andthousands upon thousands of testdives have resulted in what is todaythe Suunto Technical RGBM. The realbreakthrough in this model camewhen Suunto added the ability to thebehaviour of microbubbles.Divers who properly follow theinstructions of a dive computer thatutilises the Suunto Technical RGBMare certain to reduce the risks ofdiving incidents. This is accomplishedwithout requiring a more conservativedecompression model for mostdives.The Suunto Technical RGBM, despitethe name, is ideal for recreationaldiving, maximizing bottom timewhile minimizing ascent time. However,beyond a certain depth, thecomplexity of DCS risks increase significantly,requiring a different modellingapproach.To meet the needs of both recreationaldiving and more demandingtechnical or deep diving, Suunto togetherwith Dr. Bruce Wienke createdthe new Suunto Fused RGBM.The Suunto Fused RGBM seamlesslycombines the benefits of the SuuntoTechnical RGBM with Dr. Wienke’slatest full RGBM for deep dives. Withoutany input from the diver, theFused RGBM automatically switchesbetween these two models to effectivelymanage the risks of DCS.Under normal conditions, the transitionis linear between depths of 30mto 45m. If there is little to no heliumin the breathing gas, the transitionrange starts up to 10 meters deeperdepending on the gas mixture.For recreational divers, the newFused RGBM not only maximizesbottom time while minimizing ascenttime, but it also means your Suuntodive computer is ready when you areto go further with your dive hobby.You can use the same Suunto divecomputer including Fused RGBMin the more challenging dives.Advanced divers performing technicalor deep dives can be sure theirSuunto dive computer using SuuntoFused RGBM is going to give themthe most optimum dive profile providingthem a slow continuous ascentfrom depth leading to shorter totaldecompression time. The FusedRGBM will guide advanced diversusing the most sophisticated ofRGBMs available today, taking fulladvantage of the combined experienceand development of Suuntoand Dr. Wienke.Suunto's testing team has beenthoroughly testing the SuuntoFused algorithm with over 1000actual dives making sure thatdivers around the world canenjoy the benefits of this new andadvanced algorithm.Copyright © 2012 by Suunto Oy.
