The Suunto D5 dive computer is designed for use as an optional diving equipment
for recreational diving. Suunto D5 is intended for use in various types of scuba
diving, for example, air, nitrox and free diving. In scuba diving use Suunto D5
dive computer displays important information before, during and after the dive to
