Introducing The Oceans SI Supersonic

INTRODUCING THE OCEANS S1 SUPERSONIC

FEATURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY OCEANS

For scuba divers, communication under the surface is a challenge. Hand signals work well, but they’re hampered by one obvious caveat: the signals rely on divers looking at each other.

Over the past year, the Swedish company Oceans and their team of engineers and product designers have been working to create a next generation dive computer with an allwireless design that syncs via Bluetooth to the Oceans app, features a 3D digital compass, silent haptic feedback and a hi-res colour display.

BUDDY COMMUNICATION As a first for a wrist-worn dive computer – using soundless ultrasonic waves – the device called “Oceans S1 Supersonic” allows you to summon your buddies, divemaster or instructor, by the tap of a button.

Ping: When activated, the S1 sends a message to each paired dive computer, and shows a notification on the display screen with the name of the diver looking for attention. The S1 has a communication range of 15-20m (50- 60ft) or more depending on the terrain.

We’ve been testing the Oceans S1 Supersonic extensively during the fall and winter in the icy cold Stockholm archipelago in Sweden, and it’s “ping” feature is truly addictive!

ALL-WIRELESS DESIGN The Oceans S1 Supersonic has an all-wireless design – no cables are needed.

Syncing: The S1 connects via Bluetooth to the Oceans app to automatically import dives into your digital logbook. In the app, you can add location, observations, gear and photos, and share it with the global community.

Charging: When your battery runs low, the S1 charges wirelessly using any Qi standard charger.

HI-TECH FEATURES The S1 comes loaded with tech that will make a diver’s life much easier underwater.

Compass: Navigate like a pro with the built-in digital 3-axis compass and gyro.

Haptic Feedback: You will no longer annoy your buddies or the wildlife with the loud noises you used to make to catch a divers attention. The silent haptic feedback notifies you through vibrations when needed.

Hi-Res Colour: The S1 features a retina class LED colour display for a clearer view of your diving adventures.

JOIN US ON KICKSTARTER

The biggest obstacles and challenges in developing the S1 have been cleared, and we are ready to go into final design and production. Join us on Kickstarter and get your Oceans S1 Supersonic which runs through to the 9 th of March. The dive computer starts at $335.
