TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED DIVE COMPUTING SYSTEM -- IN BLACK TECH
The world's first wristwatch-style personal dive computer with Human Factor Diving™ gets a stealthy, scratch-resistant finish.
A precision blend of sophisticated computer and beautiful
timepiece, the MANTIS 1 BLACK is identical to the
Mantis 1 (M1) in features, functions and performance. But the
MANTIS 1 BLACK offers something extra -- a Black
Tech PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) scratch-resistant coating
presented in a stealth-like protective finish.
Like the M1, the MANTIS 1 BLACK is built with SCUBAPRO's ground-breaking Human Factor Diving™.
Human Factor Diving™ is an exclusive SCUBAPRO approach to equipment design that combines Human Factors & Ergonomics (an engineering doctrine that focuses on the interaction between products and the people who use them), Biometrics (the science of measuring and analyzing a person's biological data), and Wearable Technology (gear designed to be worn on the body) to create high-tech scuba diving products that are compact, easy to use and, MOST importantly, provide detailed "real-time" self-tracking reports on how your body is functioning, both on the surface and at depth, so you can get the most out of your body, out of your dive, and out of your life.
The MANTIS 1 BLACK is an excellent example of this blend of high-tech form and function. Offering a totally customized wristwatch-style dive computing system that's super easy to use, the MANTIS 1 BLACK features a visually pleasing display screen, an intuitive menu and a simple circular navigation system, making it one of the most user-friendly dive computers on the market.
But what makes the MANTIS 1 BLACK truly unique is its ability to provide you with personalized data through the use of biometrics. This allows you to maximize your body's operational efficiency; it lets you know when you're over-exerting or under-exerting, and it alerts you to potential problems before they escalate into major events. In short, this type of self-tracking helps increase diving performance and decrease injury, and that boosts confidence.
A stylish and highly versatile instrument both above and under water, for daily topside use the MANTIS 1 BLACK offers full timekeeping functions. For after-work sports and exercise, the altimeter and thermometer let you track hiking excursions into the upper elevations. The chronograph with lap memory is great for running, or you can switch to Swim Mode and record your swimming time, number of swim strokes and swimming distance.
For diving, the MANTIS 1 BLACK can accommodate three gas mixes, from 21 percent nitrox to 100 percent O2, plus it offers a fixed PPO2 CCR algorithm for closed circuit rebreather diving. It offers four underwater modes: Scuba, Gauge, Freediving and CCR. With the optional HRM belt you can monitor your heart rate at depth -- another SCUBAPRO exclusive. The HRM belt also measures your skin temperature which can be factored into your decompression algorithm for safer, more efficient diving. And for post-dive data tracking the MANTIS 1 BLACK comes with LogTRAK software for both PC and Mac as well as an Android LogTRAK app.
Offering just the right balance of topside features and underwater functions and featuring a protective Black Tech coating, the MANTIS 1 BLACK is a wristwatch-style dive computer like no other. By providing more vital, individualized information in an intuitive delivery system, you'll be able to make smart decisions based on solid personal data to make your diving safer, enhance fitness, help improve your diving skills, and as a result, make your time spent under water a heck of a lot more fun.
And that, after all, is what diving's all about.

Personalization Features
Adaptive Algorithm
All dive computer algorithms factor in depth, bottom time and gas
mix to calculate deco time. However, SCUBAPRO's ZHL-8 ADT MB PMG is
the only dive computer algorithm that includes a diver's breathing
rate, heart rate and skin temperature as an indicator of workload
during a dive and adjusts the decompression plan to avoid risk
factors.
Microbubble Settings
These enable the adaptive algorithm to adjust for each diver's
experience level, age and physical conditioning. Choosing a
microbubble level between L0-L5 allows you either take up less
nitrogen or off-gas more quickly.
Heart Rate Monitor
By visually monitoring your heart rate you can better assess your
workload -- real time -- and promptly react to heightened stress or
over-exertion. At the same time, the dive computer incorporates
this information into its workload calculation, adjusting the
algorithm to make the dive safer. On a less critical level,
measuring your heart rate also lets you focus on increasing your
endurance training, which allows you to transform your love of
diving into a fitness sport.
Skin Temperature Monitor
This patent-pending feature provides yet another aspect of your
physiology that can be factored into the workload algorithm.
Extreme cold can affect a diver's ability to off-gas nitrogen. This
additional information lets your algorithm update its decompression
calculations to improve the diving experience.
Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops
(PDIS)
Calculates an intermediate stop based on how much nitrogen the
body has absorbed, taking into account the current dive, previous
dives and breathing mixes
Stroke Counter
Can be a valuable aid when exercising or lap swimming in shallow
water. By keeping track of strokes you can also calculate
distance.
Calorie Burning
Can be calculated by combining heart rate and workload data. In
today's fit-conscious society you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone
not interested in how many calories were burned over the course of
the day's dive. (The Calorie Tracker is available when using
LogTRAK software.)
