SCUBAPRO Announces Release of the Meridian Watch Computer

SCUBAPRO has announced the release of the Meridian Watch Computer: a complete dive computer for freedom underwater and a multi-feature watch for timeless style on the surface. Meridian features the styling of a luxury wristwatch with the soul of their most advanced dive computer.

Offering SCUBA, APNEA and GAUGE modes, the displays are clear and easy to navigate. Four intuitive +/- buttons get you quickly to more displays, advanced information and data. Designed with the highest marine grade 316L stainless steel housing and two-toned brushed finishing, this watch offers both longevity and aesthetic appeal. The following is a brief overview of the features of each mode.

SCUBA mode:

• Predictive Multi-Gas lets you carry two mixes (21 percent to 100 percent oxygen compatible) and calculates your decompression schedule.


• Complete dive planner calculates not only no-decompression time but also total ascent rate, settings, workload, previous dives and includes both gases, if applicable.


• Optional heart rate monitor senses effort, incorporates it into the workload calculation and then adapts the decompression algorithm for safer diving.

• Enhanced algorithm with Micro Bubble Levels and PDIS (Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops) optimizes your dive.


• Adjustable "Reverse Display" Backlight makes a major difference in low visibility waters. Selectable light duration increases battery life.

APNEA mode:

• Meridian displays current depth, dive time in minutes and seconds, ascent and descent speed, heart rate (if activated) and sequential number of dives.


• The manual start allows accurate timing and data and the faster sampling rates (every 0.25 seconds) to ensure precise maximum depth.


• APNEA specific alarms and warnings (dual depth, incremental depth, dive time interval, surface interval, low heart rate and ascent speed) plus adjustable water density and an APNEA specific log book make Meridian a customizable APNEA computer.

GAUGE mode:

• Provides essential information without decompression calculations, registering the dive profile for later analysis.


• Depth gauge operates to 120 meters and also monitors time and temperature. The one-press stopwatch, plus a continuously updated average depth display, can be reset by the diver at any time. All audible and visual warnings/alarms, other than the low battery alarm, are turned off in GAUGE mode

After the dive: No matter what kind of diving you do, you can download your profiles, visualize bookmark comments and change warnings, alarms and settings using the SCUBAPRO LogTrak software. This software is compatible with a Windows-based PC or Mac OS via the optional communication cradle.

The Meridian is also a contemporary watch, featuring:

• Time and date displays


• Stopwatch functions both underwater and on the surface


• Built-in thermometer


• Altitude meter is convenient for additional mountain activities and you can even forecast the weather


• Coordinated universal time setting for easy time-zone adjustment


• Wake up alarm functions even in silent mode


• Battery status display option for periodic energy check
