Features
Standard Features
Equipped with all of the standard dive computer features, the Atom 2.0 measures temperature, depth, dive time, and no-decompression limits over multiple dives. It will work with air and nitrox and will operate in normal time mode when you're not underwater. It can also be used in gauge and freediving modes with adjustments for altitude. The Atom 2.0 is user changeable between Metric and Imperial.
Air Integration
Using up to three transmitters, the Atom 2.0 can monitor the tank pressure of three different tanks simultaneously, allowing it to act as three SPGs in one. The Atom 2.0 can also be operated in buddy mode which will allow the computer to scan for and display the air pressure of another transmitter within 4-6 feet of the computer. This is a great way to keep an eye on the remaining air of either your buddy or student.
Multiple-Gas Mixes
The Atom 2.0 can handle up to three different gas mixes containing 21-100% oxygen and even allows you to switch gases during the dive. This feature makes it particularly attractive to deep and technical divers.
User Replaceable Battery
This is one big advantage that the Atom 2.0 has over its competitors. The computer is powered by a CR2430 battery that can be easily purchased at an everyday watch shop and replaced by the user. This is a big time and cost saver that helps the Atom 2.0 stand out from the pack.
Dive Logging
The Atom 2.0 comes with a USB interface and OceanLog PC software to allow for dives to be easily logged on your computer. The dive data is easily formatted for easy reference, sorting, and printing. The software allows to you add additional data to your logs to keep track of dive sites, dive buddies, and notes. Unfortunately, the software is only available for PC.
Conclusion
The Oceanic Atom 2.0 is a fantastic bundle of dive gauges in a neat sporty little wrist watch. The only place it falls short of being the complete package is not having a built in compass. It makes up for this shortcoming, however, by featuring a user replaceable battery and every other fantastic feature a diver could hope for. Maybe not quite the perfect accessory to a three piece suit, but with great features and sporty styling it definitely works with just about any other outfit.
