Introducing the latest addition to the Galileo Family: The G2

Published

on

 

In 2007, Scubapro’s ground-breaking design of its Galileo dive computers changed the diving world forever. The Galileo won awards for its design – and the hearts and minds of its legions of fans through incredibly easy menus, intuitive usability and technology that made diving easier and more fun. Loaded with computing, navigation and personalisation features unavailable anywhere else, you simply couldn’t get a full-featured wrist-mount dive computer better than a Galileo… Until now.

The G2 is everything you’d expect from Scubapro – in colour. The air integrated G2 uses the same menu structure, the same simple 3-button control system, and the same diver-friendly functions that helped earn the Galileo its reputation as the most technologically advanced computer available – and also the hands-down easiest to use.

Every colour computer is not the same. Instead of using colour for colour’s sake, Scubapro engineers have leveraged colour to deliver the best readability and usability available. Colour indicators that quickly draw your attention to what you need to know are combined with high contrast, user configurable screen layouts and default colour settings to make the G2 stand out from the crowd… at any depth.

Scubapro offers the only dive computers in the world that take heart rate, skin temperature, breathing rate and water temp into account during a dive. This provides you with extremely reliable no-stop and decompression stop calculations, even under the most demanding diving circumstances. These patented features are available only on Scubapro computers.

Even though it’s a fully loaded dive computer, the G2 is surprisingly easy to use. It offers a choice of screen configurations that enable you to customise data presentation. Navigate effortlessly through the system via the 3 clearly marked stainless steel buttons. Rotate the screen 180 degrees to position buttons on top or on the bottom. The intuitive digital compass is one of the best in the business, and a choice of languages and characters lets you receive dive data in your mother language.

The G2 is the most diverse and customisable computer around. From thoughtful design details like retractor adaptors and bungee mounts, to easy-to-read screen templates, to personalised colour choices – it literally is tailored to you. Whether you like to put it on and go, or closely analyse your dive data, the G2 easily goes where you do – from open water, to freediving, to CCR to sidemount. Even your dive profile is one of a kind – based upon your real-time breathing rate, your skin temperature and your heart rate. It’s as unique as you.

With all of its new features, its ease of use, its screen options, plus the ability to use as much or little of the technology as you want, the G2 is poised to become the favourite computer for divers of all skill levels, from beginner to tech diver. The G2 is designed go anywhere – open water to freediving to CCR to sidemount. The G2 will accompany the new diver on their journey from their first dive to wherever their passion for diving takes them
