Great simple explanation to follow along. Just bought the Suunto i6 and looking forward to using it.
when you change the displayed information at the bottom of the dive mode, does it stay so when entering an actual dive, or does it go to the default display every time?
Does this watch also have altimeter, barometer, and heart monitor? Cause it seems real good on the diving end. Do they even make a complete watch that does all for dive, and land??
With only one sentence: Suunto D6i is for serious divers.Â
You are able to use two Nitrox mixtures and switch during your dive.Â
Tilt compass is another feature.Â
Free dive and Deco modes help you join breath holding and deep dives (beyond NDLs)
Pros:Â
*You can also use this dive computer as a wrist watch in your social life
*Wireless Air Integration
*Readable LCD dcreen
Cons:
*You cannot replace its batteries on your own
*If you use the Free Dive mode, you cannot use it in Dive Mode for 24 hours
*Can seem to be costly for shallow water divers who make 5-20 dives per yearÂ

How have things come since then? Have you received your repaired computer?
I have a d6i up for sale, never got the chance to use it in a real dive, only in pool, message me if you're interested, we can paypal etc.
Whats the difference between this and the original D6?
I got mine May 31, was very excited at first: 5 dives, 3 weeks, then it failed: MODE button stopped working. No replacement: I had to send it to Florida for repair. Still here I am waiting for my "new" D6i to be glued and repaired. Such an expensive dive compuer should NOT fail this way so miserably, after just 3 weeks of normal usage, no it can not be this bad. No. What about a failure at 120 ft with mixed air? It could be catastrophic. YOU COULD DIE OR GET SEVERE INJURIES. UNACCEPTABLE quality
How good is the new Sapphire Glass? Is it pretty scratch resistant?
Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. We can advise that it is an option and disabled by default
We hope this information assists.
Can you turn off the "tank pressure" option in order to safe battery life? I am getting the full black version next month 🙂
