- Hi guys, I'm Mark,
a scuba diving instructor from Safe Diving.
- And I'm Mark Evans,
editor-in-chief of Scuba Diver magazine.
- So, in this series of videos,
we're gonna be taking a closer look
at an entire range of the newest scuba diving equipment.
And all of these videos are sponsored
by Mikes dive store the UKs largest scuba diving retailer
and they hold most of these items in stock at all times.
- They're also doing their bit for sustainability
by moving to eco-friendly packaging
and they also donate 1% of all their online profits
to the Marine conservation charity, Sea Changes.
- So let's jump straight in.

- And here we got the Suunto EON core dive computer.
This is the little brother of the Suunto EON steel.
You might have seen before.
So lets open it up and have a look.
Now we've got in the box.
So you got all the usual literature that us being divers
we never ever tend to look at, but worth checking
out if you're not quite sure what your computer does.
You get a charging cable and
the best thing about the EON core and the EON
steel is it's just got this magnetic connection just
plugs in normal USB to charge you up
the battery life on it is plenty enough to survive
for a week on a Liveaboard
even if you're doing four or five dives a day.
So you don't have to worry about your battery running out.
When you're doing that.
Now, as you can see with the screen
its a nice, clear screen, very colorful shows
all the information that you need when you are
on a dive and with the color coding
it's very easy to see when it's trying
to warn you about something.
Its user customizable
if you want it to be a different layout
if you just want certain information showing all the time
you can change it to however you want.
If you've already seen the EON steel
this is exactly the same size screen.
The only difference is that the body's actually very small.
So the EON steel is about this long
and the buttons are on the top.
This is having the buttons on the side.
Now personally, having dived with both.
I actually prefer this one because I've found
that being able to hold the computer like this
and press the buttons is a lot easier
than trying to press on the top of the frame.
The biggest difference between this and the steel
as the name suggests the EON steel has a metal body.
This actually has a composite body.
That way it's also slightly lighter
as well as being a little bit smaller.
So its perhaps a bit more travel-friendly this will connect
to up to 10 pods, which is Suunto's transmitter.
It's also got a nice digital compass
and it will also do pretty much anything you want.
So if you're an entry level diver
this will just do your normal air.
If you want to move on to Nitrox
it will do multiple Nitrox mixes.
It will even do full tri mix.
So when you go into the realms of technical diving
and it can also handle rebreather too.
So pretty much it'll do everything that you
would want the computer to do as your diving progresses.
As we said, it's rechargeable so you don't have to worry
about running out of the battery or anything.
So a really nice computer does everything you
could possibly want, whether you're a beginner diver
or you're moving into the realms of technical diving, and
as we're filming this, there is a fantastic offer on
and you currently can get the Suunto tank POD
for air integration free with the computer.
So well worth checking out
if you're in the market for a new unit
to check out this and any other dive computers,
look at MikesDiveStore.com or head into the store in London,
and you can see the full range that they have available.
