The original Suunto Zoop is the predecessor to the Zoop Novo — a hardy, no-nonsense wrist computer that dive schools across Malaysia have relied on for years. It runs Suunto’s RGBM decompression algorithm across air, nitrox, gauge, and freedive modes, with an 80m depth rating. Three large buttons navigate the oversized display clearly underwater. User-replaceable battery keeps running costs low.
Compared to the newer Zoop Novo, this original version has three buttons rather than four, making menu navigation slightly less intuitive — but the core dive computer function is identical and proven. Sold without USB cable. Best suited to recreational divers doing regular reef dives at Redang, Perhentian, or Tioman who need a reliable, durable computer at a straightforward price.

What’s the difference between this Suunto Zoop model without USB and the one with USB? Are there any features that I would be missing out on if I choose this one?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Patrick, thank you for your question. The main difference between the Suunto Zoop with USB and the one without USB is the ability to update the dive computer’s software using a USB connection. The model without USB does not have this feature. However, the core dive features remain the same, including full decompression capabilities, five dive modes, and a straightforward menu-based interface. You won’t be missing out on any essential features that are necessary for safe diving. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know!
