Dive computers have become an important tool for SCUBA enthusiasts. And today, no dive computer is hotter than the Uwatec Galileo Sol. A dive computer is an essential piece of equipment for frequent divers. These computers can mean the difference between a safe dive and one that turns deadly. Dive computers measure both the time and depth of a dive. This allows SCUBA divers to ascend to the surface at the proper rate to avoid the often deadly effects of decompression sickness.

For divers who rely on these computers, the Uwatec Galileo Sol has become a tool of choice. That’s because this dive computer comes with a wide variety of features that its fans say make it the most advanced recreational dive computer now on the market. The Galileo Sol comes with a heart rate monitor; a digital compass with bearing memory and navigational aid; a dot-matrix display; a graphic logbook that can track more than 100 hours of stored diving and images; and hose-less gas integration for up to four transmitters, including a diving partner’s tank.

The Galileo Sol’s digital compass is especially impressive. The directional device is not affected at all by tilt. This means that divers won’t have to wonder if their headings are accurate as they swim through the sea. The Galileo Sol also benefits from a large and easy-to-read display. In even the murkiest of waters, divers will be able to rely on the display to keep track of their direction, how much air they’ve consumed and other dive data. The Galileo Sol even shines after a dive is over. Divers can use the Galileo Sol to download dive information statistics directly to their personal computers. Once the information is stored on a computer, divers can access a series of bright, easy-to-read charts and graphics to review and evaluate their dives. Thanks to a large memory, the Galileo Sol can store the last 100 hours worth of dive data. That’s more than enough information for even the hardest of the hard core of divers.

With so many benefits, it’s little wonder that the Galileo Sol has become one of the most popular dive computers on the market. And the best news is that this computer won’t soon become dated. Users can simply download new features from the UWATEC Web site as they’re released and transfer them directly to their Galileo Sol. It’s a great way to keep a top dive computer above the competition for years to come.
