I’ve recently bought the Eon Steel and I’m really enthusiastic about the device! A powerful device and the color display provides clear readings, which is very helpful in the often turbid seawater in Belgium & The Netherlands.
I'm still exploring its possibilities but I have however one suggestion for improvement after a deco-dive yesterday.
I’m using the graphical style on the Eon Steel. After a couple of minutes at 40m depth, the NDL time expired and the Eon Steel started to display the “Asc. Time” in the center together with the ceiling of the deepest stop (being a deepstop at 20m). As was expected, the Ascent Time further increased as long as we were staying at that depth. So far, all is normal.
As the Asc. Time further increased, I was however not able to see an overview of all the foreseen stops on the Eon Steel. With an “Asc. Time” of 7 minutes at 40m, I could quickly calculate that I would need 4 minutes to ascent (taking into account 10m per minute ascent rate) and 3 minutes of stops. However, I had no idea how these 3 minutes were spread over Deepstops or Deco Stops or maybe Safety Stops or at which depth these would occur. Only the ceiling of the first (deepest) deepstop was displayed.
My back-up computer (Mares Puck) showed, next to the asc. time, both a Deepstop (16m) and a 3 minute’s Deco stop at 3m. My buddy could open a menu on his Mares Icon HD to display an overview of all the foreseen stops at that moment. But of course it would be ideal to have this information accessible on my Eon Steel.
I would find it very useful know all the foreseen stops without guessing through calculations or consulting my backup computer. Will you consider an option to have the Eon Steel display a list with all the stops during a deco dive (with their respective depth, time and nature) ? Could look like a simple table stating:
Deepstop 1: 20m 0’50”
Deepstop 2: 10m 1’
Decostop 1: 3m 2’
Or did I miss something in the manual and is there already a solution for this?
Thanks for your feedback!
