the GOOD & the BAD of the SUUNTO D5 after 30+ Dives - Suunto D5 Dive Computer | Ocean Eli

I was also cautious about not using an SPG, so I use both the POD with gauge as a back up. You'll need two high pressure port on your stage one to do this

[@KenMH2024]

Great review and channel Love my D5, with Tank Pod Agree on weak display on land. Also have Suunto Cobra SPG

[@kenmh7357]

Great video again! Sold my Eon Steel and bought a D6i but kept the pod. Scuba is the sport in the world!

[@kenmh7357]

RE: POD. I have a POD and a SPG that is connected to my first stage with a "y". When it comes to Scuba, redundancy is key. Plus the POD gives SAC rate which is cool. Great review, keep it up! Happy Diving!

[@Monarch15w]

I was shocked with the display at first. Wasn’t very bright compared to shearwater teric, however once I started diving it the display is actually very good and easy to see and read. Not overpowering. Can see in any sun light condition.

[@josemiguels7688]

Nice video. Loved the detailed information

[@strikerforce17]

Awesome!! Thanks!🤙🏼 also, where’d you get your flamingo shirt? Haha

[@rasmuslthpetersen8322]

even if you add a pod, you should keep you spg!

"I really like having less bottom time and longer safety stops" was about where he lost me.

[@RomanWagner]

I hate also about the D4 (old Model) that it locks as well when you by accident had the computer still switched to Freedive Mode when going for a scuba dive. Then you can‘t use it for 24 hrs. Happened to me in vacations sometimes and was annoying.

[@oceanscholar]

It has definitely been quite frustrating!

[@anonanon3066]

@@oceanscholar Suunto be like: "How can we spend man hours, and lots of money, to make our product worse? Because, as we know, scuba divers are inheritly irresponsible"

[@chupacabra7224]

That's why it has the option to change the settings, so you wouldn't lock it up for 48 hours 😅😅

[@mellamodiego8458]

what is your favorite dive computer? and is there a dive computer that you wish you could own?

[@Noname304y2u2]

The lock feature sounds absurd.

[@makatkplt]

Lost my business at “it locks”. I’m out

[@dalzaeastmatiaha7519]

Same ..I was just about to buy one but that's a game changer for me

[@antsbradley]

Exactly the same, I was shopping for one as I watched this, abaonded it when I heard that. Why lock, it could just display a warning icon for 48 hours, or have an option to clear the lock and log an event that the lock was cleared

[@gisssa100]

From “suunto”webpage In this state, you significantly increase your risk of decompression sickness (DCS). Decompression information is not available for the next 48 hours after surfacing. It is possible to dive with the device when the algorithm is locked, but instead of the decompression information, Locked is shown. Diving while the algorithm is locked resets the algorithm lock time back to 48 hours when you surface.

[@carlwalker4936]

Me too, was just about to buy one, thought I'd scan for more reviews. It locks!!! I. Am. Out.

[@theflorianschulze]

little feedback on language used: "so cool" is not ver y helpful when trying to assess a product. tell people WHY a specific feature makes sense and talk from experience

[@dalebrownhill2540]

I have many hundreds of dives on a d5 good is it functions well and us very conservative so you wont get bent several friend's that dive shearwaters have. The bad is battery life is to short if youe doing several dives i need to connect to a power station also watch is a bit naggy with to many alerts and warnings

[@mottyblum]

Huge con is the need to calibrate the campus after charging the phone.

[@adiands850]

Takes 5 seconds to calibrate, so not really a "huge con"...

[@lostinrevery]

Very bad profile actually

[@taskak86]

I expected more time seeing the watch than your face
