Aeris A300 Ai was introduced to our diving market in early 2012. This new advanced Aeris dive computer is built for technical diving, supporting up to 4 nitrox gas mixes, has an integrated digital compass, improved user interface and a dual algorithm.
Aeris A300 Ai: screens and interface
Aeris A300 Ai was designed with a large number of menus and sub-menus as this advanced dive computer was designed for technical diving. In fact, it admits up to 4 nitrox gas mixtures with FO2 21-100%.
But at the same time, A300 Ai has an intuitive interface that allows you to customize all the settings very easily.
This aeris dive computer It has main and alternate screens for surface and dive mode operations. To help a diver better assess nitrogen loading and ascent rate, the dive computer has two color-coded bar graphs on the left and right sides of the display.
The computer is built with a dual algorithm, which means we can choose between conservative and more liberal diving to suit our particular needs: Pelagic DSAT and Pelagic Z+.
Pelagic DSAT – Use for liberal diving, and to add more conservatism you can adjust the TLBG alarm and set your personal conservative factor to ON.
Pelagic Z+ – Use for conservative diving and by choosing this algorithm you will increase the conservative factor by 15 – 20% immediately. This option is a great benefit for those who are involved in frequent and challenging diving conditions, overweight divers and people who dive in cold water conditions or those who have not dived for a long period of time.
The integrated digital compass is available at any time on the surface and underwater.
Aeris A300 Ai: Diving
Aeris A300 Ai can be used to dive with Air, Nitrox and Gauge mode.
To dive with nitrox mixes, we must set one or more gas mixes, set the PO2 and adjust the appropriate FO2 to values greater than 21% O2. The most popular nitrox gas mixes for recreational diving are the 32% FO2 and 36% FO2 mixes.
When Aeris A300 Ai is set to dive with nitrox, it calculates and displays the corresponding values for this particular dive mode. And the most important ones are the current PO2 value and the maximum depth, based on the FO2 and PO2 set points.
A dive computer displays all the vital information you need:
- current depth;
- remaining no-decompression time;
- elapsed dive time;
- Remaining air time;
- temperature
This Aeris Dive Computer is an air hose integrated instrument, so it constantly monitors first cylinder cylinder pressure and has the full suite of alarms appropriate for low pressure conditions. Air integration works only for the 1st tank and therefore all measurements and alarms are valid only for this cylinder.
If the user configures the Aeris A300 Ai for Gauge mode, the dive computer does not calculate No Decompression Limits (NDLs) and functions only as a depth indicator and timer.
Aeris A300 Ai: Surface modes
The Aeris A300 Ai offers a dive planner, PC interface, logbook and history, time to fly and desaturation countdown timers, all of which users can access on the surface.
The logbook stores the most recent 24 dives, including dive start time and date, total dive time, accumulated oxygen level, any violations during a dive, maximum depth, and temperature. All these dive data can be saved on the PC for future viewing and organizing.
Aeris A300 Ai: Ease of use
Perhaps the main reason why the Aeris A300 Ai can become so popular among technical divers and beginners alike is that this dive computer is very easy to set up and use. You can basically forget about how to use it and focus on diving! Aeris has equipped the A300 Ai with a user replaceable battery and a data hold function. This is a very useful feature, especially if you are on the boat and need to replace a battery quickly.
Aeris A300 Ai: Conclusion
Aeris A300 AI It is ideal for any diver who requires air integration and doesn’t mind having a computer with an integrated air hose. If you need a reliable dive computer with 4 gas mixtures, dual algorithm for liberal and conservative diving, integrated digital compass and you are ready to invest a little higher price for your diving experience, Aeris A300 Ai is definitely worth your attention, as keep going. the robust and multifunctional line of Aeris dive computers!
