Menu

The Suunto Stinger is the only wristop computer in the world with separate Air, Nitrox and Free/Gauge modes, each having a detailed profile log memory.

All the advanced features, such as safety stop countdown, adjustable profile memory sampling rate, underwater stopwatch and real-time dive-log bookmarks, are easily accessible.

In addition to having information available to you at all times, Suunto Stinger records and stores data for later analysis and dive log.  You can view, compare, and analyze your diving performance by transferring data through a built-In serial data port to a PC running Suunto's outstanding SAM Windows-PC application software.

The technical features, combined with the PC interface developed for more graphical representation of your performance, and our Internet Community, where you can share information with other like-minded divers from around the world, make Suunto Stinger the device of choice for every diver and underwater explorer.

Deeper Understanding

Suunto Stinger is a highly sophisticated multi-level dive computer, in every sense of the word.  It monitors and reports vital information such as your dive time, current depth, maximum depth, no-decompression time and ascent time.

Suunto Stinger implements a Suunto-specific ceiling and floor feature. The decompression floor is the deepest point at which the ascent time will not increase. The decompression ceiling is the shallowest depth to which you should ascend. These depths provide the range where the diver utilizes the decompression stop most efficiently. Suunto Stinger uses the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) for decompression calculations.

Suunto Stinger offers two patented customizable displays giving you the freedom to choose what information is displayed during each dive. When underwater, the display can be replaced with other displays for the duration of 5 seconds with a push of a button.

You can adjust Suunto Stinger for diving at altitudes up to 3000 m (10000 ft), and a personal level of conservatism can be added if desired. It enables you to set dive time and maximum depth alarms before your dive. The clear electro-luminescent backlight is activated automatically when dive alarms are given, making the dive parameters clearly visible and legible. The system is highly energy-efficient with only minimal power consumption. The built-in dive planning function helps you plan your next dive by showing you the no-decompression time data for different depths.

In the Nitrox mode, you can program Suunto Stinger for nitrox mixtures of 21% to 50% oxygen in 1% increments. You can also adjust it for oxygen partial pressure from 1.2 bar to 1.6 bar in 0.1-unit increments. Suunto Stinger gives both visual and audible alarms when the limit for oxygen partial pressure, CNS or OTU values are exceeded.

For freediving enthusiasts, Suunto Stinger introduces a 1-second precision timer with selectable 2, 4, 10, 20, 30 or 60-second profile memory-sampling rates. After 5 minutes of continuous diving in the Free mode, it automatically switches to Gauge mode. In both the Free and Gauge mode you can use a run-time timer. This makes Suunto Stinger also ideal for technical and military diving.

In the Air and Nitrox modes, you get a 36-diving hour profile memory with a default 20-second sampling rate setting. You can adjust the sampling rate to 10, 30 or 60 seconds through the PC interface. You can view the profile memory and long-term history data on the Suunto Stinger display.

Suunto Stinger incorporates complete calendar clock functions, dual time, daily alarm and a stopwatch with elapsed time and split time measurement. If you disable all the dive modes, you can use it as a traditional dive watch.

The casing is all stainless steel and the display is scratch-resistant mineral glass. The triple o-ring pushbuttons and its monocase design without a separate rear cover make Suunto Stinger virtually leakproof. The pressure rating is 20 ATM (200 m/660 ft).

Suunto Stinger comes with a durable, gray elastomer strap, or optionally a solid stainless steel bracelet with polished center-links. The bezel color is silver. The top-of-the-line model is Suunto Stinger Titanium, with a solid titanium housing and bracelet.
