New Year - New Software for the EON Steel

We are pleased to announce that Suunto have launched a long awaited software update to the EON Steel!

---

There are two software updates available: A FREE upgrade to the RGBM Fused 2 algorithm, which is already featured on the EON Core and D5,

This can be downloaded either via the Suunto link cable or via DM5. The new fused 2 algorithm offers less conservatism on deeper and repetitive dives. It also allows you to run a stepped decompression profile instead of a continuous one.

The full update notification can be found on the Suunto website, click the button below

Software update 2.5

The other option is much more exciting, which is the option to add the Buhlmann ZHL16 algorithm to the EON Steel. Mainly a feature for technical divers, this allows an EON steel user to match the algorithm of the computer to their team mates if those divers are using other units like Shearwaters (and yes we know there are a number of recreational users who use this computer!)

The Buhlmann update also offers the following:

• Fully customisable gradient factors.
• The ability to run a stepped decompression profile in traditional 3m increments instead of the continuous decompression ceiling.
• No lockouts meaning the computer won’t go into an error mode as a consequence of a missed deco stop.

Once the computer has been upgraded the user is still able to select between the two algorithms depending on the style of diving they're doing.

To get the Buhlmann upgrade all units need to be sent back to Suunto which you can do directly or we are happy to do on your behalf.

​There is a cost though.... If your unit is less than 2 years old the upgrade is free. For older units the cost is £80.
