What we believe and what we think Suunto has in mind is really not relevant. I cannot know for sure but I do not believe Suunto has downgraded anything in regard on how their dive computers display decompression obligations. I believe this because I had other discussions with Suunto regarding the (lack of) functionality in their diving instruments. Suunto is not a company which changes stuff just because it makes their computers more safe to use and easier to use. I have that black on white. Furthermore you might recall I am diving with a DX. I will leave that to you to read through the spec's for this dive computer. However I can share with you not even the DX can do any deco dive planning via the build-in dive planner tool. Such dives has to be planned from DM5 software. So when you are stating other Suunto dive computers can do simulated deco dives in the dive planner tool, then please document this. I would like to see an extract from the UG where this functionality is explained.
I welcome your thoughts and your contributions. But at the end of the day it is Suunto who has to come forward and explain why they believe the lack of detailed information regarding Ceiling, Floor, Ceiling Range and Decompression Range is sufficient. You might be right. Suunto might have down graded the decompression information (I still do not believe that) but Suunto should then just simply make a statement regarding this. If this happens to be so I can for sure just advice divers to avoid the dive computers models in question and (1) choose another brand or (2) just use tables.
I hope Suunto High Level Support is back to work tomorrow Monday. Not that I am expecting them to answer me already tomorrow. I waited several weeks already. I will share the thoughts and answers from Suunto once available.
Cheers,
Morten
