SCUBA divers looking for a scuba dive computer complete with buddy communication system and air integration, may be interested in the new Oceans S2 Supersonic dive computer launched via Kickstarter this month.

With Oceans S2 Supersonic, we are improving on every single aspect of S1, and introducing additional features to the next generation of the S-series dive computers.”

– Weight: 100g
– Battery: Recharchable, 10 hours of diving
– Connection: USB-C (for charging)

As with S1, buddy comms work at a rated distance of 20 meters (60ft) or more depending on conditions. (In tests with clear line of sight, we have been able to communicate at a distance of more than 50 meters!)air”
