Product Additional Info
About SunntoSuunto was founded in 1936 by outdoors man and a keen orienteering enthusiast, Tuomas Vohlonen, who had long been bothered by a problem: the inaccuracy of traditional dry compasses and their lack of steady needle operation. Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings, and a new level of accuracy.
By 1950 the company was exporting compasses to over 50 countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. In 1952, Helsinki was hosting the Olympic Games, and the torches carried to light the Olympic flame were Suunto products. The next step was improving the stability and accuracy of marine compasses. The first marine compass, the Suunto K-12, was launched onto the market in 1953. In 1957, Suunto started manufacturing hypsometers, which measure the height of trees.
In the 1960s, the compass range grew further and Suunto introduced its first diving compass--initiated by the divers themselves. A British sports diver attached a Suunto compass to his wrist and found that the device also worked underwater. Thanks to his feedback and initiatives, the new business category was found. Suunto's exports and business grew steadily and Suunto then focused on combining its strength in precision mechanics with new skills in electronics. Accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness have been Suunto's key values from the very beginning of the company history.
Today, Suunto is a leading designer and manufacturer of sports instruments for training, diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, sailing, and golf. True to its roots, Suunto is today the world's biggest compass manufacturer. Prized for their design, accuracy and dependability, Suunto sports instruments combine the aesthetics and functionality of watches with sport-specific computers that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve performance. Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Suunto employs more than 500 people worldwide and distributes its products to nearly 60 countries. The company is a subsidiary of Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation with the sister brands Wilson, Salomon, Atomic, Precor, and Mavic.
Suunto Vyper is a rugged and versatile multi-mode dive computer that’s designed for a wide range of dive conditions.
Multi-mode versatility
With its Nitrox, Air, and Gauge modes, Suunto Vyper delivers everything you need to maximize bottom time and make the most of every dive. When using enriched air, Suunto Vyper can be programmed for nitrox mixtures between 21% and 50% oxygen. You can also adjust oxygen partial pressure between 1.2 and 1.6 bar. In Gauge mode, it can also be used as a depth gauge and timer with profile memory.
Effortless operation
Though lightweight and small, Suunto Vyper features a large screen, which is inclined toward you for easier readability. The high-definition electro-luminescent display can be adjusted to be on from 5 to 30 seconds and lights up automatically whenever an important alarm is activated. Suunto Vyper can be worn as a wrist unit with a protective boot, or mounted on a two or three-gauge console.
Flexible decompression
Using the Suunto RGBM algorithm, Suunto Vyper enables continuous decompression for optimal ascent time. The clear electro-luminescent backlight is activated automatically when dive alarms are given, making the dive parameters clearly visible and legible.
Plan and review
You can test upcoming dives and view no-decompression and decompression time data for different depths before getting in the water with the built-in dive simulator. When the dive is over, get detailed graphical logs and dive data on your computer using Suunto DM4 with Movescount software.
