Divers Can Choose From

• Wrist Units
  If you want to check your computer as easily as you check the time on your watch. Some models can also be used out of the water for your free time (Nemo Excel and Nemo Sport)
   
• Console Versions
  With analog or digital pressure gauges. Both versions provide tank pressure, time, and depth for decompression and no decompression dives. The Nemo Air and Puck Air computers go a step further and calculate a running estimate of residual air time based on the current depth, tank pressure and breathing rate.

Then there are other characteristics to evaluate, such as:

• Readability Of The Display
  High-contrast wide screen with backlighting, large numbers, and the largest possible reading angle, combine to make the screen clear at a glance, ensuring maximum readability
   
• User Replaceable Batteries
  If you prefer to replace batteries yourself with replacements commonly available in many stores
   
• Programs With Special Functions
  Dedicated to the specific needs of particular divers, including Air, Nitrox, Freedive and Bottom-timer
   
• Download Logbook Data
  Capacity of the computer to download logbook data to your PC using a dedicated interface: all Mares computers offer this function. For other disciplines, such as freediving, which require other information and special alarms in addition to bottom time, simply set the computer to Free mode.
