The Smart COM is an air integrated computer that provides the diver with advanced warning of the air requirements that are necessary to complete an ascent and any decompression stops. And because it monitors the diver's breathing and changes in the rate of breathing, the Smart COM can adjust the diver's decompression status according to the workload. If a diver is working hard underwater, then the Smart COM anticipates that the diver may "in gas" additional nitrogen, and may ask the diver to compensate for this by doing an extra decompression stop. The Smart COM is Nitrox compatible and it includes a Nitrox dive planner. The Smart COM also features microbubble suppression. With this feature, divers are now able to select any one of 5 different levels of suppression, to minimize microbubble formation that can occur from repetitive diving that may result from having a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Microbubble Suppression reduces the long term soft tissue damage that can occur from constant exposure to microbubbles.
