Full review: Scubapro Mantis 2 Dive Computer

The Scubapro Mantis is a wrist-mounted dive computer built for divers who want reliable performance without unnecessary complexity. Designed by Scubapro, a longtime name in scuba diving gear, the Mantis series offers full multi-gas support, air integration capability, and a straightforward interface that makes it accessible to recreational divers while still offering enough depth for more experienced users. Its compact, low-profile housing sits comfortably on the wrist, and the large, easy-to-read display remains legible even in low-visibility or dim underwater conditions, a detail that matters when quick glances at depth, time, and no-decompression limits can affect a dive's safety margin.

Functionally, the Mantis supports air, nitrox, and gauge modes, allowing it to adapt to different diving styles and certification levels, from casual reef dives to more technical multi-tank excursions. The computer uses a customizable algorithm, giving divers the ability to adjust conservatism settings based on personal risk tolerance, altitude, or health factors. Wireless air integration, available in select Mantis models, lets divers monitor tank pressure directly on the wrist unit without needing a separate gauge console, streamlining the equipment setup and reducing hose clutter. The backlit screen and configurable display fields mean divers can prioritize the data most relevant to them, whether that's ascent rate, water temperature, or remaining bottom time.

Built with the rigors of scuba diving in mind, the Mantis features a durable case designed to withstand saltwater exposure, pressure changes, and the general wear that comes with frequent dive trips. The rechargeable battery, found in later iterations of the series, eliminates the hassle of battery replacements and reduces long-term maintenance costs for active divers. Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy syncing with Scubapro's companion app, where users can log dives, review profiles, and update firmware, turning the Mantis into a practical tool not just for underwater navigation but for broader dive planning and record-keeping as well.
