"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.

Pros
  • Tilt-compensated 3D compass built in
  • User-replaceable CR2450 battery, no charging needed
  • Switches between up to 3 gas mixes with adjustable PPO2
Cons
  • Wireless tank transmitter is sold separately
  • No Bluetooth app sync mentioned

The Vyper Novo is Suunto’s mid-tier recreational computer, adding a digital compass and optional wireless air integration on top of the simpler Zoop Novo, while keeping the same user-replaceable battery and RGBM algorithm.
