Good things come in threes. The Oceanic VEO 3.0 continues Oceanic's tradition of designing rugged, feature-rich personal dive computers that are intuitively easy to use and reasonably priced. Featuring Oceanic’s exclusive Dual Algorithm, 2-Nitrox Mix Compatibility, Audible Alarms, 3-Button Interface with settings "Step Back", and so much more. All in a strong, lightweight "hockey-puck" module for your wrist or console.
Powered by Oceanic's Exclusive Dual Algorithm™ - Your choice between Pelagic DSAT (Spencer/Powell data basis) or Pelagic Z+ (Buhlmann ZHL-16C data basis)
3 Operating Modes: NORM (Air and Nitrox), GAUGE (with run timer) and FREE (tracks calculations to allow switching between NORM and Free)
3 Operating Buttons with "Step Back" interface – allows forward and backward navigation through menus and settings
Switch between up to 2 Nitrox mixes to 100% O2 with no restriction (Gas 1 may be up to 100%, and may be less or greater than Gas 2)
Stop times <3 minutes - displays minutes & seconds
Deep Stop with Countdown Timer – Maybe turned on or off. 2 minute countdown at half your max depth, for dives greater than 80 ft / 25m
Single button access to "Last Dive" display (max depth & bottom time)
Data Retention - maintains calculations indefinitely when the battery is changed
Audible Alarm with flashing LED light
SmartGlo Backlighting senses ambient light, enabling the backlight only in low light conditions, conserving battery life
24 dive on-unit log book
History Mode includes total number of dives, max depth, total dive hours, and lowest temp
Optional PC Interface with OceanLog Download and Settings Upload
Firmware Auto-Update: download and install the latest firmware – these may be operational improvements or even new features

*Battery Life: Battery life estimates are based on full-capacity batteries, and continuous usage as described.
- 7 days per week
- 2 dives per day
- 1 hour dive time
- 2 hour surface interval
- 18 hour interval from last dive to the first of the next day
** Oceanic Personal Dive Computers have user selectable Sampling Rates that determine when data is sampled and stored for subsequent download to associated PC interface programs. More frequent sampling provides more data per dive yet results in storage of fewer dives for download. Use with Air or Nitrox, with or without air integration, dive profiles, Free Diving activities, and other variables may also affect the number of dives that can be stored.
