Choose the one dive computer that’s liberal, conservative or middle-of-the-road.
Oceanic’s new Veo offers Dual Algorithm™ technology, letting you choose
the decompression algorithm that best suits your diving needs without
compromising safety.
Choose Pelagic DSAT for:
Liberal Recreational Diving
The Pelagic DSAT Algorithm safely maximizes dive time for repetitive,
multi-level recreational diving. This algorithm relies on the human
Doppler studies used to develop PADI’s Recreational Dive Planner (RDP),
and has been the basis of Oceanic's and other manufacturer's computer
algorithms for many years.
To add additional conservatism, you can also adjust the:
- Tissue-Loading Bar Graph Alarm
- Conservative Factor Setting
Choose Pelagic Z+ for:
Conservative Recreational Diving
When applied to standard recreational diving, the Pelagic Z+ Algorithm
basis increases the conservative factor of the Veo by 15-20%.
Liberal Repetitive Deep and Decompression Diving
The Pelagic Z+ uses the Buhlmann ZHL-16C database, which was conducted
to meet the more rigorous demands of repetitive, cold-water
decompression diving at altitude. The Pelagic Z+ mode maximizes dive
times at depth without penalties.
Dive in sync with any buddy, anywhere
Because the Veo allows you to adjust the algorithm basis and its
conservatism, you can adjust to closely match just about any other dive
computer on the market, allowing you and any buddy to always dive in
sync. Diving the same profile increases safety for both divers, and
eliminates the need for one person to conduct a much longer or deeper
stop when buddying with someone wearing a more liberal dive computer.
On repetitive dives, there is no more waiting for the more conservative
dive computer to clear. Both buddies will be ready to enter the water
at the same time and can continue to dive the same profiles. You can’t
control which dive computer your buddy wears, but you can control your
ability to dive the same profile.
A note about deep stops:
Both algorithms allow (user ON/OFF option) credit for deep stops for
No-Decompression dives in keeping with the data of Morroni et al (2004)
and Bennett et al (2007). No penalty is given if the diver skips the
deep stop, but it is strongly recommended that a shallow safety stop be
made with or without the deep stop in keeping with the experiments of
Pilmanis (1975).
It is important to note that neither algorithm provides deep stops for
decompression dives since there is ample experimental data [Blatteau et
al (2005), Gerth et al (2007), and Gutvik et al (2007)] that indicate
that this practice often produces an increase in the risk of DCS.
