What is a dive computer and why should I use one?

A dive computer monitors your depth, time underwater, and nitrogen absorption to guide safe ascents and decompression stops, reducing the risk of decompression sickness.

Can I use the same dive computer for scuba diving, freediving, and spearfishing?

Many dive computers offer modes for scuba, freediving, and spearfishing, providing tailored data and alerts for each activity. Choose a model that supports all your diving interests.

How do I choose the right dive computer?

Consider your diving style, skill level, and features needed, such as nitrox compatibility, air integration, freedive mode, or wireless connectivity. Our Vancouver experts can help you find the perfect fit.

Are wrist dive computers better than console computers?

Wrist computers are compact and portable, ideal for recreational and freedivers. Console computers combine gauges and a computer in one unit, preferred by technical divers or those who like consolidated gear.

How do I maintain and care for my dive computer?

Rinse your dive computer with fresh water after every dive, avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, and replace batteries or service it according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Where can I buy dive computers in Canada?

You can buy from Diving Sports Canada online or visit our large Vancouver dive store at 4578 Main Street — Canada’s biggest and most trusted dive retailer.

Can dive computers log my dives and sync with apps?

Most modern dive computers log your dive data and can sync wirelessly with smartphone or desktop apps for detailed dive analysis and record keeping.

Do I still need to learn dive tables if I have a dive computer?

Yes, understanding dive tables and decompression theory is important, even with a dive computer, to ensure safe diving practices and backup knowledge in case of device failure.
