| On This Page: Duo Digital Gauge | Pricing |
| Technical divers using tables just loved the obsolete Uwatec digital gauge. It was reliable and gave you the basic information of current and max depth, elapsed time, temperature and an ascent rate monitor. It also had a rudimentarily log function, retaining the last nine dives. And... like many things we love, it was far from perfect. The Uwatec was only available calibrated for fresh water, the battery could not be changed (when the battery died you threw whole thing away), it was officially rated only 328 feet (although it could actually go deeper), it was not downloadable, it had no back light and the factory wrist strap would eventually break. Unfortunately, though we loved it, the Uwatec digital gauge is no longer manufactured. Even today, with the popularity of technical dive computers, we still carry backup tables and many divers are seeking a replacement solution for a good digital gauge. We suggest you consider the Dive Rite Nitek Duo, not as a dive computer, but in gauge mode as the Duo Digital Gauge. |

Nitek Duo Digital Gauge
Nitek Duo shown with Elastomeric Bungee Mount
|
The Dive Rite NiTek Duo has a backlit 2.5-inch display with very easy-to-read numbers. In gauge mode, the NiTek Duo
displays a variety of gauge data underwater including: current and maximum depths, dive time elapsed, and water
temperature. Other features include:
As an option, Dive Rite Express offers the Nitek Duo with the DSS Elastomeric Bungee Mount and 18 inches of bungee cord. The bungee mount securely retains the Duo, is very low profile, makes it far easier to don than a buckled strap, and is depth compensating. The tough elastomeric material, remains flexible at low temperatures and the download interface cable can be attached without removing the Duo from the mount. The photos show only one bungee lacing method, many more are possible. |

These two graphics illustrate what you will see during the dive with the Duo in gauge mode. This example is in
metric (Meters and °C), but imperial (Feet and °F) can
be configured as well. In "gage" mode the Nitek Duo operates only as a
depth gauge / bottom
timer. It begins displaying depth and elapsed
time once you descend below 5 feet (1.5 meters). While in gauge mode underwater, there are two screens you can
toggle between. The primary screen displays current depth and elapsed time. The secondary screen displays
maximum depth and lowest temperature reached during the dive. For both screens,
the "Speed" bars at the bottom are graphic representation of ascent rate; more bars
indicate faster ascent rate. In the upper right hand corner, the two symbols below the "Gage" symbol indicate
the maximum depth and time alarms are enabled. In the lower right hand corner, the "Sea" indicates saltwater.
