Scuba bottom timer

It is easy to read with an auto on and off mode. The ScubaPro M Digital Depth Gauge and Timer is a very practical instrument that incorporates state-of-the-art microchip technology, and several basic dive instruments into a compact information center. The new version of this popular digital gauge comes with rubber straps as well as a housing which can be used to bungee mount with bungee holes as depicted here. Not only does the gauge show dive time, current depth, temperature, maximum depth but it also calculates average depth for the dive. Depth rated to feet meters. During the start-up phase, the Digital m which uses a sealed battery verifies the status of the battery.

A Bottom Timer makes a great backup to a dive computer. They record depth and time, but do no decompression calculations. Bottom Timers are typically used by technical divers and by others who are diving tables or using some other method for determining their decompression status. Many technical divers use a dive computer, but also have a Bottom Timer as a backup should the dive computer be lost or fail. The divers will have planned the minimum deco and turn pressures for the planned dive on the surface, and simply switch to run their dive using these prepared tables and their Bottom Timer if they need to. Some technical divers take the time to learn their dive tables and then dive safely using just a Bottom Timer.

Without a reliance on dive computers and with the ability to calculate their own deco on the fly there is no need to use a dive computer. Plans are made in advance and with experience a dive team can learn to adjust these underwater as necessary. DIR divers often have a bottom timer on their wrist, and perhaps one spare if doing a major dive.
