The Cobalt Diving computer is the first of a new generation
of computers that are easy to use, intuitive and easy to
read. The menu-driven interface is self-explanatory at
every level and can be mastered in just a few minutes. In
spite of its simplicity it is immensely powerful and offers
many sophisticated functions to the advanced user.
The full color LCD display is easy to read, sharp and
bright, with high contrast, and is very energy efficient for
long battery life.
The lithium ion battery is built into the case. It can be
quickly recharged with the AC charger or slow charged by
plugging into the USB port of any PC. It will provide 40-50
hours of dive time between charges and many months of
standby power. If capacity diminishes after several years
of use, replacement can be done by the factory or an
authorized Atomic Aquatics Dealer.
The on board rapid response 3D digital compass makes
underwater navigation simple. Set a course and go.
Unlike most digital compasses, it will remain active until
you choose to turn it off. Crucial dive information is
always displayed.
The Cobalt includes a high pressure quick disconnect that
allows the Cobalt to be removed and carried separately
from your regulator system.
The Cobalt is a multi gas computer that can be set for any
Air/Nitrox mix to 99% O2. Up to 6 mixes can be preset for
easy switching, including gas switches underwater.
The dive log and planner are powerful tools that allow the
easy interactive planning of almost any dive, including
repetitive and multi-day diving. The logbook will store up
to 600 hours of detailed dive profiles in memory.
The Algorithm used in Cobalt is the Recreational RGBM
(Reduced Gradient Bubble Model) created exclusively
for Atomic Aquatics by Dr. Bruce Wienke. The RGBM is
designed to cover a wide spectrum of diving activities
such as bounce, altitude, decompression, repetitive and
multi day. RGBM is a dual phase model that combines
the dissolved phase (Haldane) and free phases (Bubble).
Physiological factors such as age and exertion level
may be input by the user. Additional settings are also
provided to set the conservatism level. Visit our website
