Finnish dive computer pioneer Suunto has announced the launch of two new dive computers, the Suunto Nautic and Suunto Nautic S.
The company says the two products – both designed and made in Finland – ‘mark the beginning of a new dive series designed to meet the evolving needs of both recreational and technical divers.’
The names of the computers are derived from the Latin nauticus, meaning ‘of ships and sailors,’ as an homage to Suunto’s origins in navigation, and the first precision compass that earned the company its reputation in the 1930s.
‘The Nautic series builds on this legacy, combining Suunto’s proven reliability with modern features designed for today’s diving adventures,’ said Lena Bergendahl, Suunto’s head of dive category and products. ‘It represents the next chapter in Suunto’s long story of exploration beneath and beyond the surface.’
Suunto Nautic – fully-featured next-gen dive computer
The Suunto Nautic features a 3.26-inch AMOLED display, the largest of its kind on the market, with a 720 x 382px resolution designed for optimum readability in all diving conditions.
The adaptive user interface ensures critical diving data remains clearly visible, whatever the conditions, and Suunto says that despite its size and brightness, the Nautic offers up to 120 hours of non-stop diving in medium brightness, 90 hours in night conditions, or 80 hours at full brightness.
In addition to core dive features such as single- and multi-gas support, customizable alarms, compass, and wireless tank pressure compatibility, Nautic includes advanced features for technical diving, including customisable dive views, trimix support, GF99 and SurfGF indicators, and decompression planning tools.
The Nautic also supports sidemount diving with dual tank pressure displays and switch alerts, and will be compatible with closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) diving via an upcoming software update.
The Bühlmann 16 dive algorithm is complemented by a range of variations in conservatism settings.
In addition to its underwater functionality, the Nautic is also equipped with outdoor tools that support dive planning and preparation, including GPS, maps, tide information, weather forecasts, and sunrise/sunset times.
The computer also has a built-in LED flashlight and is compatible with Suunto’s heart rate belt and tank pod.
Users can choose between a versatile bungee strap or a comfortable textile strap, both designed to ensure the right fit for every type of exposure protection.
Suunto Nautic S – compact format with full dive functionality
The Suunto Nautic S, designed for scuba and free divers, offers similar functionality but in a more compact wrist-sized format.
It also features AMOLED display technology and an intuitive interface, but in a more compact, lightweight design for divers who prefer a smaller device, but without the smartwatch and sports features that are built into the Suunto Ocean all-round sports, outdoor, and dive watch.
Like its larger counterpart, the Nautic S includes core diving features for both recreational and technical diving, including wireless tank pressure support through the Suunto Tank POD, audio and vibration alarms, dive planning, compass, and sidemount support.
The Nautic S is water-resistant to 100 meters and rated for dives up to 80 meters with a claimed battery life of up to 60 hours of non-stop diving. The device introduces a graphite grey color and an elastic textile strap for improved comfort.
It also supports in-device customisation of dive views and is compatible with Suunto’s existing accessories, including the Tank POD, heart rate belt, and 22mm Ocean and outdoor straps.
Suunto Nautic/Nautic S availability
The Nautic will be available from 24 November at suunto.com and through selected retail partners worldwide; the Nautic S will be follow in December 2025.
