Description: The Uwatec Aladin PRIME is the NEW computer for recreational divers with an array of features that compete with other manufacturers' top end products. This new computer is easy enough to use for anyone who is new to diving but at the same time has the necessary, advanced features to satisfy the more advanced diver. New hardware functions, such as user changeable batteries and push button operation are combined with a heavy duty, polyurethane wrist strap. As with the higher end Smart computers, the Aladin PRIME also features IrDA (infrared) communication technology for easy downloading to your PC and FREE SmartTRAK software. The 25 hour memory allows you to download your entire week of diving in the Red Sea once you return home, and the 4 second sampling rate gives an extremely accurate dive profile. The IrDa connection speed can be changed between 9kps and 56kps. The aim of the Aladin PRIME is to make your dives easy so you can enjoy them as much as possible, whether you're diving air or nitrox (up to 50%). It has all the essential dive information that you would expect from an Uwatec (based on the exclusive Buhlmann ZH-L8 ADT algorithm), including a backlight, 99 dive logbook, variable ascent rate, 3 minute safety stop timer and customizable nitrox reset time. Not only does the Aladin PRIME have all the above computer functions and many more, but it also has all the important watch functions, such as time, date, an alarm and time zones for the traveling diver. With Aladin PRIME you have everything you need and nothing you don't, so when diving, live your emotions to the fullest, safe in the knowledge the Aladin PRIME will do the rest!
