Oceanic VEO 1.0 is the continuation of Veo line dive computers. It is recommended dive computer as an entry level instrument, or device that can be used as a backup. Very easy to set up and even easier to use, thanks to well structured and written manuals and intuitive interface! VEO 1.0 designed with only 1 button on the interactive control console for an easy access for displays and settings, so we may expect simplified user interface as well! You may choose from the option that best suits your needs – you may buy this oceanic computer as a wrist unit or in a 2- or 3-gauge console assembly. Dive computer itself designed as a ‘puck’- style module – that’s why such a variety.

If you decide to buy Oceanic VEO 1.0 in console – you should definitely buy it with Quick Disconnect (QD) feature, because it will add you flexibility in storage, service, and protection of your dive computer!
Oceanic VEO 1.0 dive computer has 2 bar graphs to assist us during diving by displaying information about nitrogen loading and ascent speed graphically (that’s good for visual people, like myself, along with digital data representation have a couple or more bar graphs!).
Descriptions of these bar graphs you may find below:
VEO 1.0 is very easy to set up - just 1 button does it all! From the Surface Main you can access and set:
All functions following one another, so when you set specific parameter and save it, by pressing button you will be moved to different function. This time you need to work out duration of time that you need to press button each time to set, save parameters and move to the next function and it won’t take you much time to do that! Few words about Dual Algorithm here. Some oceanic computers come with Dual Algorithm setting and this scuba dive computer is not an exclusion. Oceanic VEO 1.0 comes with Dual Algorithm feature – it means that you may choose between liberal and conservative diving. Algorithms are listed below:
When you choose either one of them – VEO 1.0 dive computer will lock this selection for 24 hours.
Oceanic VEO 1.0: Diving With Air & NitroxVEO 1.0 displays your Dive Time Remaining (DTR) by monitoring No-Decompression (NDC) dive time remaining in accordance with the nitrogen absorption and O2 accumulation and shows the least amount of time available as DTR with corresponding icon – either NDC or O2.

During No-Decompression diving this Oceanic computer may give you Safety Stop (SS)prompt and Deep Stop (DS) prompt (if Deep Stop was set ON previously). Each of these conditions has displays with specific information, like:
All other data is similar to data of No-Decompression dive conditions. You may get High PO2 or High O2 warnings/alarms with all corresponding data displayed if you reach certain conditions during a dive.
Oceanic VEO 1.0 will activate Decompression mode if you exceed No-Decompression time and depth limits. After this you need to ascend to the depth of slightly deeper than required or equal to required Decompression Stop and stay there for time displayed. And again you will have main and alternative displays with following dive data:
If you make any violations (ascending shallower than required and stay there for some time, for example) – Oceanic VEO 1.0 will show information related to each kind of violation with appropriate values, Bar Graphs, icons, and graphics. No off-gas credit will be given in this case, but instead, you will get penalty time, that you must work off before off-gas credit begins. After you finished your penalty time – off-gas credit would start and accordingly Decompression Stop Depths and Time begin to decrease. Also you may see that segments on TLBG begin to disappear. When there only be 3 segments or less displayed – dive computer will return to No-Decompression dive mode.
On surface you may have an easy access to the following modes of Oceanic VEO 1.0:
Oceanic VEO 1.0: What Divers Say
Oceanic VEO 1.0 is very easy to set up and use dive computer. I didn’t find any problems testing it, but still sometimes digits are not clear to see if you have a sharp angle of view and it lacks backlight really. But for you it may be not an issue, if you have an underwater torch.
And I totally agree with the opinion of one of reviewers - that if you do not like messing with your scuba diving equipment and like easy stuff that you set up and use just with the help of one button, and want to pay not big money for full functional Nitrox dive computer - Oceanic VEO 1.0 is for you, as a main or backup scuba diving equipment!

I'm using Oceanic VEO 1.0 NAVCON as a backup device for my Aeris Manta wrist dive computer. They work great together and all measurements on Manta and VEO are almost identical, thanks to its Dual Algorithm.
I love its one-button easy access and dive data retrieving. VEO 1.0 has all data displayed in a intuitive way on a large screen with sharp digits. Pressure gauge and compass are great extra to the dive computer itself. I got certified on Underwater Navigation course with this console.
I've bought Oceanic VEO 1 for backup to my GEO 2. They work great together!
It is very easy to read all the important information and setting the options was not hard if you follow the owner's manual with only one button for easy access.
