INTENDED USE
Suunto Ocean is a dive computer designed to be used as an optional diving equipment for recreational
scuba diving and freediving. The device displays essential information before, during and after the dive to
enable safe decision making.
Suunto Ocean also tracks your movement and other metrics, such as heart rate and calories. Suunto
Ocean is only for recreational use and not meant for medical purposes of any kind. You must have access
to decompression tables whenever diving with a dive computer.
Suunto Ocean can be used as a standalone product or in combination with the Suunto Tank POD, which
measures the tank pressure and transmits the pressure reading information to the dive computer. The
combination of Suunto Ocean and the Suunto Tank POD is categorized as Personal Protective Equipment
under the EU Regulation 2016/425 and protects against risks listed under PPE Risk Category III (a):
substances and mixtures which are hazardous to health.
OPTICAL HEART RATE
Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and convenient way to track your heart rate. Best
results for heart rate measurement may be affected by the following factors:
• The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be between the
sensor and your skin.
• The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally worn. The sensor
reads blood flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
• Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the accuracy of the
sensor readings.
• When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A short warm up of a
few minutes before you start the recording helps.
• Skin pigmentation and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings from the optical sensor.
• The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming and underwater activities.
• For higher accuracy and quicker responses to changes in your heart rate, we recommend using a
compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
