The VR3 is a full decompression dive computer incorporating a derivative of the Bühlmann ZH-L16 algorithm with modifications to support deep stops, adjustable shallow stop depth, and dynamic decompression ceilings. (An optional upgrade allows switching between the Bühlmann ZH-L16 and Varying Permeability Model B/E algorithms). During a decompression dive, the VR3 provides complete information displays of all required stop times.  The VR3 will NOT "lockout" after a missed stop or ascent rate violation it will show a "USE TABLES" alarm but still give a "best estimate" decompression information. The VR3 upgrade options also provide outstanding support for semi-closed and fully closed-circuit rebreathers and have been used extensively on homebuilts to completely monitor PO2 and deco information on the fly.

State of the Art Dive Computers
The VR computers are the most up to date computers on the market and we aim to keep them right there on the cutting edge of technology by adding useful options and fun features all the time. They are truly dive computers for the 21st century, interactive tools which meet the needs and match the lifestyle of those of you who are used to the advantages of mobile phones and PDAs in your surface existence and want similar technology to accompany you on your underwater adventures.

Colour your world!
Choose our VR2 Splash models and you will be the proud owner of the world’s first full colour dive computer. With the backlight keeping the colours bright at any depth, you will be amazed at the difference from standard monochrome screens.

Upgradeable
VR2s grow with you as your diving career progresses. Start off with the base Air and Nitrox model and if you eventually get into rebreather diving you do not need a new dive computer, you just upgrade your VR2 .

Unique Analyser function
With the optional analyzer mode enabled and cable fitted these are the only dive computers capable of operating also as an oxygen analyzer. Place the sensor on the end of the cable into the gas stream, measure the oxygen reading and set that into your gaslist. Very easy to use and saves you buying a separate analyzer.

Rebreather Interfaces
With the optional rebreather mode enabled and the cable fitted the VR2 are able to link up with both closed and semi-closed rebreathers to provide real time PO2 decompression monitoring and independent oxygen monitoring.


Integrated High Pressure Link
With our optional high pressure link cable connected and the appropriate software enabled, you can monitor your air or gas supply, measure your breathing rate and see at a glance how much time you have remaining at depth before you reach your reserve pressure.

Dive Logging Software
VR2  owners can buy our Prodive dive logging software package that will enable them to download dives from your dive computer into a PC as well as upload gas profiles. A sample ProDive CD is supplied free of charge with each computer so that you can see how the programme works.
 

Reliable decompression algorithm.
Proplanner was one of the first desk top decompression software programmes and it forms the basis for the decompression algorithm in the VR2 . It is based on the Buhlmann ZHL 16 algorithm and, in line with current thinking in decompression science, incorporates 2 minute deep stops on the ascent. These are designed to reduce the formation of microbubbles, which are thought to contribute to decompression illness.

NOW AVAILABLE!

An optional new variation of  the VR decompression algorithm incorporating a variable permeability model

 Thank you for your patience!

 We are pleased to announce, in response to the many requests we have received over the last few months, that as of 14th November, 2005, an upgrade is available which will enable owners of VR computers to use both the standard VR decompression algorithm AND a new variation of the algorithm that we have developed which incorporates a variable permeability model. We are calling this the V1 upgrade and it will provide selection of either model on a single VR computer.

 What it does.

 The new algorithm is based on VPM BE and depending on gas selection and dive depth and time, it will in some cases provide a reduced decompression requirement, although this is not always true. What the new algorithm does is smooth out the decompression profile. There are no deep micro-bubble stops and ‘normal’ decompression stops begin much deeper. Generally speaking, the intermediate stops are longer compared with the standard VR algorithm and shallower stops are shorter.

 A unique feature of the V1 upgrade is that, once it is enabled, divers can switch to the algorithm they prefer for the type of diving they are doing, even in between dives if they wish. On every dive the VR computer records tissue and bubble states using both algorithms so divers can swap between the two without compromising their ability to switch back.

 Product Compatibility

 New VR computers may now be ordered via Delta P dealers with the V1 upgrade already installed. Current VR owners may upgrade by returning their existing computer to the factory via their dealer for the work to be done. The amount of work required and the cost of the upgrade depends on the age and capabilities of the unit being upgraded.

 VR computers manufactured since October 2004 which have Software Version V3.03Ac or V3.02Ac installed are already armed with the expanded memory required to run the V1 upgrade. Therefore all that is required is the software upgrade itself. This will cost £195.00 in the UK incl. VAT. This will also be the price to have the V1 upgrade enabled on a new VR2 or VR3. 

If your VR3 has the later body style (circlips visible behind the switch pockets and a 7 pin I/O connector) and has software version V2.1 CXR, V3.03aB or if you have a VR2 with V2.1CXR or V3.02aB installed, you will need to buy the expanded memory required and the software upgrade. The price for this will be £393.00 incl. VAT.

If you have a VR3 manufactured before June 2003 which either has no I/O connector on the side or takes a 2 pin connector and which has no visible switch circlips, then your current box cannot be fitted with the expanded memory required. So you will also need to upgrade the box to the new body style. Together with the expanded memory and software upgrade this will cost £643.00 incl. VAT.

When considering upgrading one of these older units, owners using analyser or rebreather cables should be aware that the new box will have a 7 pin connector, not a 2 pin connector.
