I just saw a picture of a new freediving-specific computer from Suunto - the D3. It looks like a Mosquito with an orange body. It's supposed to have just freediving functions and act more like a bottom timer without all the scuba stuff as to be cheaper, for around $300US retail.
Anyone else heard of or seen this new gadget? Is it available anywhere in the world yet? When will it be available? And most importantly, will it carry the Angus Seal of Approval?  Last edited by Longfins; January 31st, 2002 at 05:51.

It's about damn time. My Apneist is too clunky.
Cheers, Erik Y.

It is a fantastic piece of freediving equipment.
Almost the same as the mosquito but this baby has a 1 sec sampling rate. Stopwatch that counts backwards. Pc interface Will be available SOON!!!

It also beeps a bit louder and you can set it do that eg. after every 30 seconds. It should also stay in diving mode a little longer, so you won't miss the first seconds of your dive as easily as with the mosquito.
Does not have a jolt starter for your hart or an emergency lift bag as rumoured... ossi

I saw the D3 on a dive tradeshow yesterday in the Netherlands.
Looks exactly like a Mosquito, although there are other colors on the case. Specs are similar to the mosquito too, except you won't have an 'air' mode. Prices: D3 349 euro Mosquito 399 Euro Last edited by jvoets; February 25th, 2002 at 13:26.

Hey,
This is cool. A brocure that I saw indicated that it had an ascent rate indicator, is this right? The sampling rate is about the best one can get commercially, but for the price a mosquito is very close. Thanks for the news, Fd48
