The Vyper by Suunto has been a well known dive computer model for several years. Now an upgraded version has been released that has provision for adding a wireless receiver to manage gas consumption. The new Vyper Air has an integrated electronic diving compass that continues to work within a massive 45 degrees tilt range.
