The Tusa Solar is one of the most distinctive dive computers on the market — a solar-charged wrist computer with a full-colour OLED display running Tusa’s proprietary Pelagic DSAT decompression algorithm. Solar charging via ambient light means the battery rarely needs manual charging during regular use; for heavy liveaboard schedules in Malaysia’s sun-soaked conditions, the Solar practically maintains itself. Dive modes cover air, nitrox, trimix, gauge, freedive, and CC mode, with Bluetooth connectivity to the Tusa Dive App for log management. Depth-rated to 120m. The colour display clearly distinguishes deco ceiling, NDL, and depth data at a glance, which matters when you’re 30m down on Sipadan’s famous South Point with current pushing. A premium choice for experienced divers who want cutting-edge technology and zero battery anxiety on dive trips.

I’ve been using the Tusa Solar Dive Computer for a while now, and I must say it’s a game-changer. The solar recharge feature is so convenient and efficient. However, I do have one minor complaint – the Bluetooth connectivity can be a bit finicky at times, but overall it’s a great product.

Dear Gauri, thank you for reaching out to us about the TUSA Solar Dive Computer. I’d be happy to help answer your question.

This is further protected by a rugged design that prevents flooding. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re here to help. Best regards, Our Team. Also, we have a section on our product description that says ‘factory-sealed and rugged design that prevents flooding’. You might find it helpful.

What is the optimal time to charge the battery of the Tusa Solar Dive Computer? Should I charge it before or after a dive?
Junhao Lo –
Dear Chandra, thank you for your review of the Tusa Solar Dive Computer. The device’s solar panel is designed to harness sunlight and charge the battery during use, eliminating the need for battery replacement. As there is no actual battery to charge, it is not necessary to charge it before or after a dive. Simply exposing the device to sunlight during use will allow it to charge. The solar-powered design provides users with a convenient and energy-efficient way to power their dive computer. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Is the Tusa Solar Dive Computer compatible with my Apple Watch? Can I transfer my dive logs directly to my watch?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and asking about compatibility with your Apple Watch, Eryn. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any information that confirms compatibility with the Apple Watch for our Tusa Solar Dive Computer. While it does support Bluetooth SMART technology for transferring dive logs to a smartphone or tablet, we recommend checking with Apple directly for their compatibility list. We do apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your review of our product.

I recently purchased the Tusa Solar Dive Computer and I’m so impressed with its features. The 4-Mix Gas support and Free-Dive Mode are very useful for me. However, I do wish it had a more ergonomic design.
