Rgbm?

[plsdiver4377]

Which computers currently on the market are using the RGBM?

Thanks

If this has already been asked my apologies in advance.

current suunto computers use rgbm..i think Abyss as well...their deco software uses rgbm with deep stops. There may be others as well. ZG

Apparently, Suunto isn't a true RGBM, it's Suunto variation of the RGBM, which is why it's called 'Suunto RGBM'. I think they did this to get it out to market quickly. I don't believe that there is anything wrong with the Suunto computers and their 'Suunto RGBM' (I own 2), but they are technically not true RGBM computers.

Here's a thread with some more info...

The HS Explorer uses the RGBM model.

They're made by Hydro Space Engineering
http://www.hs-eng.com/
The manual is available for download at that website.

Distribution is through OxyCheq

They'll be able to steer you to a dealer.

PS: HS Explorer and Abyss Explorer are not the same.

The HS Explorer looks exactly like the Abyss line of computers. HS Explorer probably makes them for Abyss?? ZG

Do you happen to know if/when this was put into production for the United States? I purchased and have been diving one of the MC1 units since October of last year.

Hydrospace manufactured the computers for abysmal. the hardware is the same but the alg is modified to fit the abyss conservative factors and modified Buhlman AB values..

A cell integrated version is ONLY available through hydrospace.

I used to sell the abysmal version,I now only sell the hydrospace versions and have had many of my customers converted to the hydrospace algs instead of the abyss algs..

If you have any questions feel free to ask.. I have had the computers since the beginning, I can tell you the good, the bad and the ugly...
I have also tested many of the upgrades over the past year or so before they were available..

The computers are very stable now and I wouldn't think of doing a dive without one..

The feature that I like the most is the ability to select straight buhlman, modified buhlman (rgbm limiting factors like the suunto) and true full up RGBM..

How much does this beast run, and what are any of the limitations/problems, etc.?

Its not a cheapie.. It for the dedicated diver...

It does any nitrogen or helium mix.. open or closed circuit

The "standard" version is $1200 and the cell integrated is $1300

There were some minor bugs in the beginning (nothing that altered profiles, just some informational issues and d/l problems, and a problem in RGBM mode (full up RGBM was added in november) when at high altitude, doing very deep long dives..) and a problem with the case (they had a pre-emptive recall and every computer case was changed and included was a free additional 1 year warranty), but thats been all rectified..

The thing that has me hooked is the huge display.. the main numbers are each around 3/4 of an inch, and most others .25 to .5 inches, and that its a segmented display so its much easier to read than a graphical display..

the limits are 10 switchable gases, mixed open/closed circuit, 600 fsw depth limit..
a full comparison between it and its closest competitor (the vr3) can be seen at www.hs-eng.com, the manual is also available for d/l along with a simulator to see how the computer works...
