hi, can you use it as a watch ? does it have a stopwatch?
What about the backlight?
which other strap can be used with this product? preferably fabric-like ? thanks
Enjoyed this video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
How do I turn the dive computer off? Why ST i still continuing to increase when I am not using the watch?
Perfect explanation to having to read the 70 plus page manual. Well done thumbs up from Sint Maarten
As an old school diver who learned in the 70s and 80s these computers look a bloody nightmare. How I wish for the simple tables of old.
175 euros on the market not too bad considering how expensive some of these dive computers can be and how little waterproof watches manufacturers care about making model with built in depht meters hard to find on the market and maybe not as accurate as that type
Can the wrist band strap be change? Please anyone? Cause I just bought mine recently..
Thank you. This has really helped me to understand this computer. Although it is still not that an intuitive a model, your video has made it simply to follow and program.
How do you turn it off?
Guy has too rapid figure gestures and he flies through critical functions. Slow down, mate.
Good video but how do i turn off my suunt zoop
How do u turn it off
i don't know about you guys, but i'm leaning towards not putting my life in the hands of a computer named "Zoop"
is that for freedive too?
Hi really useful video. Please could you let me know if this automatically starts a timer for a safety stop? Also, does it have audible alarms for safety stop and ascending too quickly? Thanks.
Much better than the printed instructions!!
Thanks so much. You helped me so much better than the printed instructions.
How do you switch on the backlight please?
Haven't used it yet. Wish it were more intuitive. The PDF manual should shave been a DVD video. This video is decent.
I just got home with my new Zoop, and started reading the user manual. 3/4 of it was warnings and legal garbage. OK, fine, I will just pop in the dvd. ok, no auto run, found out I have to use the DOS Run command. Now, I have my doubts, but I charged on, confident that all will be fine. After all I am a retired Electronics tech, with 20 years programming computers. No problem right? (yeah, right) Ok, it's NOT a DVD, it's a CD with a PDF!!! C'mon Suunto…this is lame. Ok, I've dealt with worse, so I go to youtube and all I get is VERY basic" what it can do" stuff. Finally track down a link thru their website, register to join their online "Class" and guess what? They want $5.00 bucks to watch the videos which should have been on a DVD to begin with. I am VERY dissapointed with their product. Lots of hoopla about how "Great" they are and then shake you down for $5.00 to purchase an activation code. Shame on you Suunto! It's going back to the retailer first thing tomorrow. Shaking down your customers like this is very, very tacky. By the way, you need a microscope to see some of the functions.

what is the maximum depth for this watch.??
when I want to plan my dive it displays the no deco limit but how do I set the plan to my actual dive?
you can use this computer for free diveing ?
You will need the Suunto Dive Manager-USB. Kind Regards
so we need to buy just the usb cable or dive manager package ? im allitle confused. thank you
and great video
Noted.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Take care.
The Zoop does not have a salt/fresh water setting, it is calibrated for salt water. If using it in fresh water please be aware that the actual depth is about 3% different than the displayed depth, although this does not matter for the computers decompression calculations as these are based on the measured pressure.
Hi there,
This was quite the helpful video, thanks a lot.
One question though, on the Puck from Mares there's a select salt/fresh water mode.
Does the Zoop detect this automatically or not at all?
How does this affect my dive planning?
Hi, If you purchased it from our store then it needs to be returned back to us, otherwise you will need to take it to a Suunto dealer for repair. It sounds like you have a problem with the depth sensor.
I did 4 dives with the zoop the a wall Dive 90 feet every dive at 5O it goes to ER why
How can Fixe the Error Mode on it seem at 15 FEET STOP
@saraatjeh Hi,
This should normally go into and idle state and just show the time.
regards
@FkRsr Hi, The history will remain, the settings may go back to default though. Regards
When changing the battery, does all history reset or is it still kept in archive ?
Hi there, the Suunto zoop would require the USB Dive manager which you can purchase for £45.00. This comes with the cable and the software and allows you to download data to your PC.
Kind Regards
Hi there, we can confirm the Zoop does show the no fly time after a dive. Yes indeed the Zoop does have a built in memory of about 50 diving hours.
Kind Regards
will the computer show a no fly time after dive? it does have a built in memory right?
@bigrock123 The Zoop doesn't include the transfer cable, only the two flagship units (D9 & HelO2) have it in the box. The item you need is the Suunto Dive Manager, USB version. Make sure to choose the correct fitting for the Zoop/Vyper style unit. Thanks
