Leading Scuba Gear Maker Introduces New Line of Dive Computers & Analog Instrumentation

Aqua Lung, a leading global designer and manufacturer of dive and water sports equipment, have announced the lineup of its new line of dive instrumentation products. This new collection of dive computers and analogue gauges has been engineered to provide reliable, sophisticated dive technology that is intuitive and easy-to-use.

“With our ongoing commitment to being the leading global provider of diving equipment, it was a natural decision to expand into instrumentation,” said Don Rockwell, CEO of Aqua Lung International. “We look forward to serving the diving community by providing a range of high quality, innovative instruments that enhance their diving experience by bringing simplicity to the complex.”

Backed by advanced design, engineering and manufacturing, Aqua Lung’s new dive instrumentation line allows divers to safely and confidently descend into their dive adventure with thoughtfully designed features that harness the power of cutting-edge dive technology. With a wide range of functionality, from analogue gauges to the top-of-the-line i750T dive computer, the Aqua Lung dive instrument collection serves a wide variety of divers’ needs.

“In the same spirit that in 1943 inspired the father of all underwater breathing devices, the CG 43 regulator, Aqua Lung continues our mission to empower discovery for all divers,” said Jeff Allsop, Global Dive Business Line Manager. “Our new collection makes simple what is complex and brings real and useable technology to all divers. As an example, we’ve engineered all of our computers to use standard batteries that can easily be replaced by the user.”

The result is a line of dive computers with thoughtful features throughout that reflect a “complex made easy” approach that allows divers to focus on adventure rather than logistics. They are easy to read in any lighting condition and easy to use with simple, intuitive interfaces and navigation. The transmitter pairs for life and the equipment has user-changeable standard batteries. The entire line of computers is compatible with DiverLog, the best in class digital log book & mobile app.

Dive Computers

The premier i750T: powerful technology and engineering embodied in an intuitive and compact dive computer

Engineered for the technology-savvy diver, the i750T’s advanced performance features include an exceptionally crisp OLED color screen, easy-to-use interface, 3-axis full-tilt compass, a user-replaceable standard battery, and a paired-for-life optional transmitter. Tracking and sharing the dive takes just seconds with its Bluetooth® Smart wireless connectivity to a mobile device.

i450T: a features powerhouse that’s intuitive and sporty

Designed for the active diver and the travel diver, the i450T has flexibility and intuition packed into an eye-catching design. Even small but thoughtful details were considered— once the transmitter is paired, it never needs to be paired again. The optional hoseless gas integration reduces clutter for a more streamlined feel.

The i300: effortless approach with a rugged design

The i300 exceeds expectations—with many features such as its easy-to-use interface, flexible operating modes, built-in backlight and user-changeable battery with data retention. With effortless design, such as an automatic water-activation, it gets the diver right in the water and descending to the next adventure. For Operators, features such as a memory that’s easily cleared, a user changeable battery, and firmware that is updateable by the dive center make it the perfect computer for training and rental lockers.

DiverLog: best-in-class digital log book to record and share your dive information

Manage dive computer settings, view Log and Profile data, add location, notes and other details, as well as store and share photos and videos. The Aqua Lung dive computer is all set to easily sync and upload information to a Mac or PC. The i750T and its Bluetooth® Smart technology allow all of this to happen instantaneously with a mobile device (iOS or Android). More information can be found at www.ediverlog.com.

Transmitters

The Aqua Lung Transmitter, used in conjunction with the i750T or i450T, allows the diver to monitor current pressure and gas time remaining without a stiff high pressure hose, while providing a more streamlined profile. The transmitter pairs for life and up to three transmitters can be used with each Aqua Lung gas integrated wrist computer. Like the computers, the transmitter is also designed with standard user-changeable batteries. Transmitters come in two versions: Nitrox compatible to 40% and 100% O2.

Analogue Gauges

The Aqua Lung line of Analogue Gauges is designed for easy readability and use, with the quality and reliability expected from Aqua Lung products. A Pressure Gauge, Depth Gauge, and Compass are available separately or in two- or three-gauge console models.

i450 3 Colors

Nomad Ray

Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.

The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.

The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.

Nomad Ray

The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.

Nomad Ray

A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
