If you happen to come upon the design team of Suunto, you’ll realize they’re actually a group of cognitive scientists and professional designers who have backgrounds in various sports and outdoor activities. No wonder they’re so good. This Dive Computer Review centers on the company and their Suunto Dive Computers.

Responsible for inventing very reliable compasses, Tuomas Vohlonen who founded the Suunto Company is a highly creative engineer as well as an enthusiastic outdoorsman. His modern production methods are still being used today. By the 1950s Tuomas Vohlonen was exporting his compasses to more than fifty countries all over the world.

Diving Computers

During the 50s and the 60s the company began developing marine compasses, which became a hit and the company’s profits soared. In the 80s the company incorporated the technology of mass-production of what was to become the standard diving computer. With the help of dive tables the standard pressure gauges and depth gauges in computers was worn separately. To do without the help of diving tables, the company’s innovation sought to create a diving computer. The creation of Suunto Diving Computer was then born.
