Migrating from a Suunto Mosquito to a D6...

Katamuki, thank you for passing on your own experiences with the D6. The side-by-side comparison you did was interesting. I appreciate you taking the time to share these here.

El Orans, thanks for the reply to my post.

I read about these shields for the D6 and the D9.

ZAGG | invisibleSHIELD | Suunto Watch Cases, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Invisible Shield

Its on my shopping list of things to try since I have a D9.

Elena, won't the Zagg adhesive shield come right off as soon as your Suunto gets dunked in water?

It does look like a nice product for dry land use. Thanks.

Can any D6 owners take me through the steps for going between the nitrox and air settings?

For example, on a two-tank dive I'm using Nitrox then Air followed by the same later?

Sorry, it's not 100% clear to me from the Suunto material or playing around with the settings myself.

Thanks!

One problem I ran into on a recent dive can be fixed easily if I had set it up correctly before the dive.

A few minutes into the dive, I discovered that I had the D6 set to 32% Nitrox but was actually diving air. If I had set the second mix to 21%, I would have been able to switch gases during the dive.

I would have had to make sure that I surfaced well before reaching the NDL limit but it would have been more accurate that way.

Since I hadn't done that, I had to rely on my wife's Suunto Mosquito.
