Oceanic's new VEO-Line of PDCs offers two algorithm models

10/03/2010

Oceanic’s new VEO-Family offers Dual Algorithm™ technology, letting you choose between two decompression algorithms in order to suit your diving needs best without compromising safety.

Maximized dive time

For starters, there is the approved Pelagic DSAT Algorithm which 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.

Diving in sync with a buddy
The second calculation modell is the Pelagic Z+, using 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. Because the VEO 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 allow you to adjust the algorithm basis, diving with a buddy is made much easier. 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.

Up to three operating modes
Depending on the model you choose, there are up to 3 Operating Modes: NORM (Air and Nitrox), GAUGE (with run timer) and FREE. Also up to 3 Operating Buttons with "Step Back" interface - allows forward and backward navigation. You can - depending on the model - 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).
