Scuba Diving Sicily

• Galileo 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 is the only dive computer manufacturer in  the world that accounts for the effect of increased workload on human physiology during a dive, and Galileo is the first dive computer to integrate a heart  rate measurement into the workload calculation. Through this technology a more accurate estimate of workload is possible, and you get the safest  no-stop and decompression stop calculations even under the most demanding circumstances.

• Complete navigational system with integrated digital compass and bearing memory, virtually unaffected by tilt. Ease and accuracy, all in one instrument.

• Galileo combines an extra large dot matrix display with a huge memory for unprecedented flexibility:
• View pictures and charts during the dive.
• Enjoy detail never before seen on a dive computer. Graphical charts let you review the dive profile at any time, including a complete list of deco stop times.
• Review the depth, temperature andheart rate profiles after the dive directly on Galileo’s on-board logbook.  Galileo stores the most recent 100 hours of dive information in 4-second sampling rate, which you can download to PC via the infrared port.
• Hoseless gas integrated computer: when used with a Smart transmitter you get tank pressure and true remaining bottom time (RBT) on the computer screen.
• Galileo can be reprogrammed through its infrared interface, meaning you can easily upgrade your computer with new functions and features downloaded from our website.
• Predictive Multi Gas algorithm: allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of high oxygen concentration mixes.

PERSONALISATION

• See what you want, when you want, with Galileo’s extra large dot-matrix,  available in 3 pre-configured screen display mode options:

The LIGHT display shows dive time, depth, tank pressure and no-stop information with  digits that could not be any bigger.

The FULL display maximizes the information  shown at once: depth, dive time, deco information, tank pressure, RBT, time of day, stopwatch, active  MB (micro-bubble suppression) level, temperature, heart rate, maximum depth, average depth.

The CLASSIC display strikes the perfect balance between “clean & clear” and “super complete”. Depth, dive time, deco information, tank pressure, RBT and temperature are always displayed.

• All alarms and warnings are displayed in clear text in the language of your choice so you never misunderstand essential beeps while engrossed in the fascinations of the underwater world.  Alarms cannot be turned off, but for warnings you have a choice of either only visual, only audible or both visual and audible.

• Galileo’s user interface is as easy to use as a cell phone so you can easily program and view all interface elements for complete personalization.

• You can further personalize Galileo by entering owner and emergency information.

CORE UWATEC TECHNOLOGY

• UWATEC technology guarantees the highest level of innovation, safety features and performance possible in a dive computer.

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 (Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops) 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.

Upgrade your computer with new functions and features downloaded from our web site: Another exclusive technological achievement by UWATEC. You may want an expanded software package or simply want to add a new language. Galileo Sol can be reprogrammed as your diving and technology evolve.

See what you want when you want by choosing one of the 3 pre-configured screen display modes: LIGHT mode shows the most important information in the biggest possible figures. FULL display gives you everything at once. CLASSIC mode is the perfect balance between the two.

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.

Oil filled technology: 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.

Predictive Multi Gas (Available as upgrade): 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.

Exclusive Heart Rate Monitoring System (Available as upgrade): Galileo 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.

Navigational system with digital compass. Galileo includes a full-tilt digital compass plus bearing setting and memory feature for fool proof navigation. Its sophisticated technology allows the compass to operate correctly regardless of the position of the diver’s wrist and graphically marks the direction set, guiding you back on course in case you stray.

Extra large dot-matrix screen available in 3 display modes. Allows for different personal preferences and diving styles, Galileo can be quickly and easily set to display data in 3 different screens options.

PDIS (Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops) 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.

Clear text, multi-language alarms. All alerts and alarms are displayed in clear text on the large dotmatrix display. For example, if the diver is ascending too fast, Galileo will display “ASCENT TOO FAST!”
Text alerts are shown in one of the 6 pre-loaded languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, more will be available through downloads) and supplemented by visual and audible warnings.

User friendly. This multi-language feature is also used for all interface elements, such as menu items. This, coupled with Galileo’s extreme user friendliness, translates to an advanced dive computer that is as easy to use as a cell phone.

Graphic data display. Galileo also offers a bar-graph representation of the tissue loading and of oxygen toxicity levels. The graphic possibilities extend to displaying the dive profile on screen during the dive; if decompression or MB level stops are needed, Galileo will display their depth and duration in the profile.

Personalization. The diver can input his personal information (name, certification numbers) and also emergency contact, medical (such as allergies) and dive insurance information into Galileo; in case of an accident the emergency information is displayed at the touch of a button.

An exclusive UWATEC achievement: the option to update Galileo’s firmware through the infrared interface.
You can download upgrade packages over the Internet to get new features and new languages. The NEW free Apnea package is available on our web site–for Galileo only–and at no cost. SmartTRAK is also used to customize Galileo’s settings and display all dive related information. Galileo’s memory chip can hold over 100 hours of dive profile data and 100 bitmap images as a wreck map the diver can use to orient himself.

User replaceable battery & depth rating: Thanks to its oil-filled electronics compartment, Galileo is rated to a maximum depth of 330 meters (per EN13319 standards), while the battery is contained in an airfilled housing allowing the diver to easily change it if necessary.

LUNA can be upgraded with 2 additional features—available as optional purchases at your Authorized SCUBAPRO UWATEC dealer, these two features can be added quickly via our special site: galileo.uwatec.com.

• Predictive Multi-Gas upgrade: Purchasing this PMG feature at a later time, or whenever you need it, allows LUNA to use up to 3 Nitrox mixes (21-100% O2) during the dive, calculating the ascent schedule for all possible combinations of the programmed mixes. The outcome of the different decompression calculations can be shown on the screen in a dedicated deco summary screen.

• Heart Rate Monitor upgrade: Galileo’s heart rate monitor, jointly developed with Polar (world leader in the field of heart rate monitors), not only measures and records the heartbeat during the dive but allows the dive computer to factor the intensity of the exercise into the decompression calculation, as it is reported by the diver’s physiology. The HRM is also ideal for Apnea divers, measuring heart rate and sounding an alarm if the heart rate drops below the set level.
