State-of-the-art solutions for every diver
Suunto Stinger is the ultimate choice for all kinds of recreational, military and other professional divers, and competitive divers such as freedivers and technical divers who do not compromise when it comes to the quality, materials and functionality of their equipment.
Whether diving in familiar waters or exploring unknown oceans, safety is essential. Suunto Stinger is packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible decisions underwater. The depth, time and decompression measurement, and the ceiling/floor feature assure that you know exactly how much time you have spend in the depths, how deep you are, when you have to surface and how fast you can do it. This way you can maximize the diving performance without jeopardizing your safety.
The extensive memory and logbook functions enable you to keep track of your past dives and through them you can monitor your progress and plan your training accordingly.
- Air, Nitrox, Free/Gauge modes
- Complete watch functions
- Extensive memory functions
- Adjustable units
- Bookmark function
- Suunto RGBM model
- PC interface
Suunto Stinger is a highly sophisticated multi-level dive computer, in every sense of the word. It monitors and reports vital information such as your dive time, current depth, maximum depth, no-decompression time and ascent time.
Suunto Stinger implements a Suunto-specific ceiling and floor feature. The decompression floor is the deepest point at which the ascent time will not increase. The decompression ceiling is the shallowest depth to which you should ascend. These depths provide the range where the diver utilizes the decompression stop most efficiently. Suunto Stinger uses the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) for decompression calculations.
Suunto Stinger offers two patented customizable displays giving you the freedom to choose what information is displayed during each dive. When underwater, the display can be replaced with other displays for the duration of 5 seconds with a push of a button.
You can adjust Suunto Stinger for diving at altitudes up to 3000 m (10000 ft), and a personal level of conservatism can be added if desired. It enables you to set dive time and maximum depth alarms before your dive. The clear electro-luminescent backlight is activated automatically when dive alarms are given, making the dive parameters clearly visible and legible. The system is highly energy-efficient with only minimal power consumption. The built-in dive planning function helps you plan your next dive by showing you the no-decompression time data for different depths.
In the Nitrox mode, you can program Suunto Stinger for nitrox mixtures of 21% to 50% oxygen in 1% increments. You can also adjust it for oxygen partial pressure from 1.2 bar to 1.6 bar in 0.1-unit increments.Suunto Stinger gives both visual and audible alarms when the limit for oxygen partial pressure, CNS or OTU values are exceeded.
For freediving enthusiasts, Suunto Stinger introduces a 1-second precision timer with selectable 2, 4, 10, 20, 30 or 60-second profile memory-sampling rates. After 5 minutes of continuous diving in the Free mode, it automatically switches to Gauge mode. In both the Free and Gauge mode you can use a run-time timer. This makes Suunto Stinger also ideal for technical and military diving.
In the Air and Nitrox modes, you get a 36-diving hour profile memory with a default 20-second sampling rate setting. You can adjust the sampling rate to 10, 30 or 60 seconds through the PC interface. You can view the profile memory and long-term history data on the Suunto Stinger display.
Suunto Stinger incorporates complete calendar clock functions, dual time, daily alarm and a stopwatch with elapsed time and split time measurement. If you disable all the dive modes, you can use it as a traditional dive watch.
The casing is all stainless steel and the display is scratch-resistant mineral glass. The triple o-ring pushbuttons and its monocase design without a separate rear cover make Suunto Stinger virtually leakproof. The pressure rating is 20 ATM (200 m/660 ft).
