A personal dive computer is a diver’s best friend. Whether monitoring depth, tracking the duration of an
underwater adventure, calculating nitrogen absorption, or measuring air supply, divers must be able to easily
and quickly read their instruments. At SCUBAPRO UWATEC, we employ cutting-edge technology without
compromising usability. SCUBAPRO UWATEC computers and instruments process dive information
accurately and precisely, incorporating it on an easy-to-read, high-resolution screen so you can
embark on your adventure with confidence. SCUBAPRO UWATEC offers distinct computer
platforms with unique characteristics to fulfill different expectations and needs.
“What kind of dive computer would you design if you had no limits?” This was the
challenge undertaken by our engineering team at SCUBAPRO UWATEC: The result is
the Galileo completely innovative state-of-the-art computers offering the ultimate
in features and technology for an extraordinary underwater experience.
COMPUTERS AND INSTRUMENTS
GALILEO SOL
Galileo is a new state-of the art computer platform from UWATEC, offering unique new features and incomparable technological innovation plus total personalisation, for YOUR extraordinary underwater experience. The Galileo Sol is our ultimate dive computer, with limitless, new-to-the-industry features. The Galileo Terra model maintains many of the features of the Sol and all of the core technology of the Galileo platform, yet is targeted for the diver who prefers a more traditional pressure gauge on a hose, rather than hoseless gas integration.
GALILEO SOLThe dive computer you have been waiting for.
Exclusive Heart Rate Monitoring •
System: Galileo Sol is the first and only dive computer to have an integrated heart rate monitor, incorporating the heartbeat into the workload, and then tailoring the decompression calculations to your dive. UWATEC has teamed with Polar, world leader in heart rate monitoring instruments, to bring you this innovative technology. Each diver is unique and so is our core physiology. Body responses during a dive are not the same. With the heart rate monitor Galileo Sol is able to further sense your efforts and adapt itself to reflect the condition your body is reporting. You get the safest no-stop and decompression stop calculations, even under the most demanding circumstances.
Full-Tilt Digital Compass with Bearing Memory:• A powerful navigational system with integrated digital compass that remains accurate regardless of inclination, a diving industry first. You can set a bearing to navigate to and from a desired destination both on the surface and
underwater. Galileo keeps you on course with arrows and guides if you stray. It even displays markers at various degrees for square, triangular or reciprocal courses. Galileo stores the set bearings in the dive profile so you can review them on your PC after download.
Extra-large Dot Matrix Display and Huge Memory:• View pictures and charts during the dive; store images of dive sites and upload tables or messages for easy communication. Enjoy details like the dive profile including a complete list of deco stop times. You can even observe the tissue loading status. Review depth, temperature and heart rate profiles after the dive directly on Galileo’s on-board log book. Galileo stores the
most recent 100 hours of diving in a 4-second sampling rate for download to your PC.
PDIS(ProfileDependentIntermediateStops)• optimizes your dive in complete security. The PDIS option calculates an intermediate stop based on how much nitrogen uptake your body has endured, taking into account your current dive, previous dives and breathing mixes. This proposed stop allows you to reduce on gassing and slowly release nitrogen while you continue cruising along and enjoy your dive. PDIS is a unique scientific application from UWATEC, for safer, more optimized diving in both the recreational and technical arena.
Hoseless gas integration:• When used with a Smart transmitter you get tank pressure and true remaining bottom time (RBT) on the screen. Having true RBT allows you to enjoy the maximum amount of time
at depth, safely ascending in the knowledge that you will arrive at the surface with at least the set gas reserve. Transmitters only need to be paired once and our coded transmission technology prevents interference.
BEYOND BOUNDARIES – GALILEO
GALILEO TERRA
Predictive Multi Gas: • Allows you to enjoy the full benefits of carrying high oxygen concentration mixes in addition to your main breathing gas. Our algorithm predicts the switch to the new mix and includes it in the deco calculation plus prompts you to use it at the correct depth. If you don’t switch, Galileo adapts accordingly. You can get an overview of decompression calculations for several combinations of gases summarized on one screen at the push of a button.

Alarms and warnings displayed in text in the language •
of choice: You will never misunderstand an essential beep underwater because Galileo spells it out. You decide. Warnings can be visual, audible or both.
Galileo’s user interface is as easy to use, program and view as •
a cell phone: Menus, settings and functions are in your language of choice. Buttons are labeled and change when the function changes. Navigating through the various menus is so intuitive, you may be tempted not to read the manual—but please do!
You can truly personalize your Galileo: • Enter your owner and emergency information. The first two lines are displayed on the main surface screen and an additional 18 lines are in a dedicated menu. Input emergency contacts and dive insurance numbers, plus any allergies or medical conditions. It will all be automatically accessible by rescuers should an accident occur, so they can better assist you.
Oilfilledtechnology:• Allows us to make a slim designed computer with
an extra-large rectangular display. Oil filling also gives us more technological freedom and is the reason we are the only dive computer on the market rated to a depth of 330 meters per EN13319 standards.
User-replaceable battery:• The separate air-filled battery compartment makes it easier for you to replace the battery yourself. It can even be done between repetitive dives without affecting the saturation information.
Infrared technology and PC download capability:• Lets you continue your dive experience once you get out of the water. You can log, organise, analyse and print details of each dive and even compare your dive profile to your buddy’s.
GALILEO TERRAUWATEC is committed to providing multiple levels of computers for all different varieties of divers. That is why we developed the Galileo Terra, available Winter 2008. Galileo Terra is for the advanced and recreational diver wanting all the progressive features of Galileo Sol but prefers a traditional pressure gauge.
Both the predictive multi-gas and heart rate monitor features are available as upgradeable options for Terra, and can be purchased at an authorised dealer and uploaded from our special site: galileo.uwatec.com.

UWATEC has set the standard in the industry, significantly promoting and evolving the use of diving computers throughout the years, with the introduction of numerous innovative computers and instruments. The Aladin family is the most complete offer for recreational diving. With a friendly round shape, it is the ideal computer to accompany divers through the different steps of their experience and levels of diving certification.
The all new Galileo platform is our most recent state-of-the-art breakthrough and delivers the future of diving today. Galileo by UWATEC is as revolutionary for diving as Galileo Galilei’s discoveries were for XVIIth century science. And science is the essence of Galileo.
Intuitive and innovative, adaptive computers from UWATEC are a step ahead of standard computers. Using the Bühlmann ZH-L8 ADT mathematical algorithm, these computers adapt to diver behaviours and environmental conditions, accounting for such variables as workload, water temperature, ascent rate, even pulmonary shunt during surface intervals.
This variation of the Bühlmann algorithm enables divers to reduce the effects of microbubble build up. Microbubbles are tiny but potentially highly dangerous bubbles that can build up in a diver’s tissues. Often present without visible symptoms, they could damage soft tissues and lead to decompression illness. The ZH-L8 ADT MB algorithm features six diver selectable microbubble suppression levels: from L0 (minimum microbubble reduction corresponding to the UWATEC ZH-L8 ADT algorithm) to L5 (highest degree of microbubble reduction). Divers can program the level of microbubble reduction according to their personal preference and diving environment. In practical terms, the diver will have either shorter no-stop times or deeper and longer decompression stops (level stops) than when diving with L0. As a consequence, the body will either take up less nitrogen, or will be able to off-gas more before returning to the surface, therefore reducing the amount of microbubbles present in the body at the end of the dive.
Galileo Sol, Aladin TEC 2G and Smart TEC computers feature a predictive multi-gas algorithm (available as an upgrade on the Galileo Terra), which takes into account all planned gas switches throughout the dive. In the background, the algorithm also calculates the decompression schedule for the currently active gas only, so if you fail to switch to the “deco gas” at the planned depth, the computer can quickly revert to this calculation. This means the decompression schedule shown on the display gives you the actual total time of ascent. For your convenience, a gas switch is suggested automatically by the computer once you reach the planned switch depth, but the diver must confirm the switch manually. A switch can also be initiated manually at any time, giving you total flexibility in the use of the deco gas(es), always with an up-to-date decompression calculation.
NITROX COMPATIBILITYAll UWATEC dive computers are Nitrox compatible. Nitrox is the term used to describe breathing gases made of oxygen-nitrogen mixes with the oxygen percentage higher than 21%. Because Nitrox contains less nitrogen than air, there is less nitrogen loading on the diver’s body at the same depth as compared to breathing air. However, the increase in oxygen concentration in Nitrox implies an increase in oxygen partial pressure (ppO2) in the breathing mix at the same depth, which can have toxic effects on the human body. UWATEC computers keep you safe from these potential negative effects:
They have a maximum operating depth alarm alerting divers when •
the partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) reaches the maximum allowed level (ppO2max).
They “track” the exposure by means of the Central Nervous •
System Oxygen (CNS O2) clock. At levels of 100% and higher there is risk of long exposure effects, and consequently an alarm will be activated when this level of CNS O2 is reached.
TRUE REMAINING BOTTOM TIME (RBT)CALCULATED WITH GALILEO SOL AND SMART GAS-INTEGRATED COMPUTERS
The RBT is the time divers can spend at the current depth before needing to ascend in order to be on the surface with the minimum gas reserve as set in the dive computer (range is 20-120bar, default 40bar). Galileo Sol and Smart dive computers calculate the RBT by taking into consideration all parameters which affect the ascent, such as tank pressure, breathing rate, depth, ideal ascending speed, all incurring and upcoming decompression obligations and the set tank reserve. In addition, tank pressure is temperature compensated in order to correctly follow the diver during an ascent through thermoclines. Once all of these factors have been considered, Galileo Sol and Smart dive computers calculate the actual RBT, while constantly monitoring each variable and updating the calculation if needed to ensure that the RBT is always accurate.
SMART TRAK AND INFRARED TECHNOLOGY Infrared technology allows divers to interface wirelessly and without hassle with a personal computer, for example to download their dive profiles. Smart TRAK is a dedicated
software application which lets divers log, organize, analyze and print the details of each dive, taking advantage of the 4-second sampling rate in UWATEC dive computers’ memory; it also allows for customized dive computer settings, including features and alarms. This powerful, full-color software is supplied with every UWATEC dive computer and is compatible with Windows Vista. UWATEC also supports other platforms such as Windows CE, Macintosh and Palm OS with dedicated software. Free updates for all software are available for download at scubapro.com.
INFRARED INTERFACE (IRDA)If your PC does not have an infrared port, this interface plugs into the USB port for quick and simple downloading from your UWATEC dive computer. This interface is also Macintosh-compatible without the need of special drivers when used with JTRAK version 1.1.4, available for download at scubapro.com.
