Questions and Answers for Suunto D6i Air / Nitrox Hoseless Computer with Digital Compass:
Mermaid:
1. Does this Suunto show your surface interval (count down)?
2. When night diving , or on land at night , can you read the display with out having to use your dive light? Is there a button or do you have to flash a light on it?
Thank you,
Sandy

Surface interval time and/or countdown is a basic function of all dive computers. If they do not readily disply it, they incorporate it into your updated remaining bottom time surface calculations. This watch is backlight with the push of a button.
Joseph:
dear sir or madam does this dive computer come with an air intigrated transmitter or is it an add on.

:
Hello Joseph, yes the transmitter is an added cost. If you look under the up-grades you will see the added cost of the transmitter. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Corey:
The product description notes a battery that is rechargeable through a USB port. Is that the transmitter, the computer, or both? How long will a charge last?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
After much research it turns out the battery is not rechargeable at all in either the watch or the transmitter. The USB port is only used for downloading your dives with the download software.

Most important will be how often and what conditions you plan to use it in. All computers will give you the information you need out of a computer, so all will work. It boils down to the extra bells and whistles you desire to make your diving more convenient. We do not offer teh D6i without a transmitter.
Kanratana:
Hi,
Is it the D6i is the Black Limited edition? and also is it possible for me to change battery my self cause it not easy to send it out of Cambodia and get it back.

ratana

:
Hello Kanratana, no the D4i, D6i, and the D9tx are not user changeable batteries. You would have to send this back to the manufacture for a battery replacement. The transmitter you can change the batteries on but not the computers itself.
Corey:
The watch and the transmitter - are the batteries rechargeable or do they need to be regularly replaced by the manufacturer?
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Batteries are user changeable and typically last a full season of diving.
