Description
A TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED DIVE COMPUTING SYSTEM
This computer is all about you. With easy-to-use features, it's the world's first wristwatch-style personal dive computer with Human Factor Diving.TM
Every dive, and every diver, is unique. That's why a "personal" dive computer needs to be just that -- personal. Not a one-size-fits-all instrument that delivers the same basic computations regardless of whether it's being used by a 25-year-old dive instructor or a 55-year-old novice diver carrying a couple extra pounds around the waist.
Human Factor Diving™ is an exclusive SCUBAPRO approach to equipment design that combines Human Factors & Ergonomics (an engineering doctrine that focuses on the interaction between products and the people who use them), Biometrics (the science of measuring and analyzing a person's biological data), and Wearable Technology (gear designed to be worn on the body) to create high-tech scuba diving products that are compact, easy to use and, MOST importantly, provide detailed "real-time" self-tracking reports on how your body is functioning, both on the surface and at depth, so you can get the most out of your body, out of your dive, and out of your life.
There's no better example of this blend of high-tech form and function than the MANTIS. Offering a totally customized wristwatch-style dive computing system that's super easy to use, the MANTIS features a visually pleasing display screen, an intuitive menu and a simple circular navigation system, making it one of the most user-friendly dive computers on the market.
But what makes the MANTIS truly unique is its ability to provide you with personalized data through the use of biometrics. This allows you to maximize your body's operational efficiency; it lets you know when you're over-exerting or under-exerting, and it alerts you to potential problems before they escalate into major events. In short, this type of self-tracking helps increase diving performance and decrease injury, and that boosts confidence.
A stylish and highly versatile instrument both above and under water, for daily topside use the MANTIS offers full timekeeping functions. For after-work sports and exercise, the altimeter and thermometer let you track hiking excursions into the upper elevations. The chronograph with lap memory is great for running, or you can switch to Swim Mode and record your swimming time, number of swim strokes and swimming distance.
For diving, the MANTIS can accommodate three gas mixes, from 21 percent nitrox to 100 percent O2, plus it offers a fixed PPO2 CCR algorithm for closed circuit rebreather diving. It offers four underwater modes: Deco, Gauge, Apnea and CCR. With the optional HRM belt you can monitor your heart rate at depth - another SCUBAPRO exclusive. You can also monitor your own skin temperature, which can be factored into your decompression algorithm for safer, more efficient diving. And for post-dive data tracking the MANTIS comes with LogTRAK software for both PC and Mac as well as an Android LogTRAK app.
Offering just the right balance of topside features and underwater functions, the MANTIS is a wristwatch-style dive computer like no other. By providing more vital, individualized information in an intuitive delivery system, you'll be able to make smart decisions based on solid personal data to make your diving safer, enhance fitness, help improve your diving skills, and as a result, make your time spent under water a heck of a lot more fun.
And that, after all, is what diving's all about.
MANTIS Personalization Features
Adaptive Algorithm
All dive computer algorithms factor in depth, bottom time and gas mix to calculate deco time. However, SCUBAPRO's ZHL-8 ADT MB PMG is the only dive computer algorithm that includes a diver's breathing rate, heart rate and skin temperature as an indicator of workload during a dive and adjusts the decompression plan to avoid risk factors.
Microbubble Settings
These enable the adaptive algorithm to adjust for each diver's experience level, age and physical conditioning. Choosing a microbubble level between L0-L5 allows you either take up less nitrogen or off-gas more quickly.
Heart Rate Monitor
By visually monitoring your heart rate you can better assess your workload - real time - and promptly react to heightened stress or over-exertion. At the same time, the dive computer incorporates this information into its workload calculation, adjusting the algorithm to make the dive safer. On a less critical level, measuring your heart rate also lets you focus on increasing your endurance training, which allows you to transform your love of diving into a fitness sport.
Skin Temperature Monitor
This patent-pending feature (arriving end of 2015 with a SCUBAPRO belt) provides yet another aspect of your physiology that can be factored into the workload algorithm. Extreme cold can affect a diver's ability to off-gas nitrogen. This additional information lets you update the decompression calculations to improve the diving experience.
Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops (PDIS)
Calculates an intermediate stop based on how much nitrogen the body has absorbed, taking into account the current dive, previous dives and breathing mixes
Stroke Counter
Can be a valuable aid when exercising or lap swimming in shallow water. By keeping track of strokes you can also calculate distance.
Calorie Burning
Can be calculated by combining heart rate and workload data. In today's fit-conscious society you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone not interested in how many calories were burned over the course of a dive.
Technical Information
Targeted to certified air (open water and above) and nitrox divers, in addition to closed circuit rebreather divers using a fixed PPO2.
Casing is built from the highest marine grade 316L stainless steel with a two-toned brushed finish that both protects and looks great.
Magnetic control buttons eliminate the need for holes, maintaining the casing's watertight integrity and maximizing mechanical reliability.
Mineral glass protects the LCD segmented display.
Data is presented with easy-to-read alphanumeric characters and graphics and intuitive menu system.
Includes full topside time-keeping functions plus a chronograph with lap memory for running.
Four Dive Modes-Deco, Gauge, Apnea and CCR-plus a Swim Mode offer maximum data crunching versatility on land, on the surface and under water.
Dive Modes function to a maximum operating depth of 394ft/120m.
UWATEC ZHL-8 Predictive Multi-Gas (PMG) algorithm allows divers to carry high oxygen concentration mixes (21-100%) in addition to their primary breathing gas.
Fixed PPO2 CCR algorithm is provided to accommodate closed circuit rebreather divers.
Enhanced logbook allows apnea divers to store their repetitive apnea dives sequentially under the same session.
CR2032 user replaceable battery is rated for two years or 300 dives.
USB data interface (with dongle) is both PC and Mac compatible using LogTRAK software. An Android LogTRAK app is also available.
We are the only dive equipment company in the world to offer such a new and innovative dive computer.
