SYDNEY, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Suunto, the Finnish pioneer in precision instruments and dive technology, introduces its new dive computer series: Suunto Nautic and Nautic S. These next-generation devices build on Suunto's dive legacy, combining rugged reliability with modern innovation to support divers at every level.
From the Latin nauticus, meaning "of ships and sailors," the name Nautic pays tribute to Suunto's heritage in navigation. Alongside Suunto Ocean, EON Core, and D5, the Nautic series continues this legacy—built to guide divers below the surface, where trust, accuracy and awareness matter most.
Suunto Nautic S – compact format with full dive functionality
Designed for scuba and free divers, Suunto Nautic S delivers core dive functionality in a compact, lightweight, wrist-sized format. Featuring an AMOLED display and an intuitive interface, Nautic S is purpose-built for underwater performance—without smartwatch or sports features such as optical heart-rate tracking.
Nautic S includes essential features for recreational and technical diving, including wireless tank pressure support, audio and vibration alarms, dive planning, compass, and sidemount support. It also supports freediving, snorkelling, and mermaiding with dedicated tools for these disciplines. Nautic S uses the Suunto Bühlmann 16 GF decompression model with a wide range of settings, is water-resistant to 100 m and rated for dives up to 80 m, and offers up to 60 hours of continuous diving battery life. A new graphite grey color and elastic textile strap improve comfort, with in-device view customisation and Tank POD compatibility plus 22 mm straps.
Suunto App: extending the dive experience
The Suunto app helps divers plan, log, and relive dives—review routes and distance, add equipment and conditions, and easily share logs with dive buddies.
In the Suunto app, divers can store dive histories, add notes and photos, and view trends over time. Sync is quick via Bluetooth, making it easy to keep logs up to date and share routes after every trip with buddies.

SUUNTO Nautic S: Designed for every dive

SINGAPORE, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sustainable Tourism Impact Fund, a partnership between Agoda, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore, and the UnTours Foundation, has announced its second round of investments alongside early impact results from the Fund's inaugural cohort.
Designed to provide affordable, flexible financing to small and medium-sized tourism enterprises, the Fund supports businesses that integrate environmental restoration, climate resilience, and inclusive economic development into their core operations. Indonesia-based Livingseas Asia and Bambike Ecotours in the Philippines are the beneficiaries of the new investments. Each new investee receives USD 25,000 in loan capital to expand impact-driven initiatives across the region.
In Indonesia, Livingseas Asia combines dive tourism with coral reef restoration in Padangbai, Bali. Its nonprofit arm, the Livingseas Foundation, has restored more than 7,300 square meters of degraded reef, deploying artificial reef structures and planting over 320,000 coral fragments, with measurable biodiversity recovery. The Fund's investment will support the construction of modular housing for staff and trainees near the restoration site. This will expand Livingseas Asia's hosting capacity and strengthen the Foundation's ability to deliver marine education, conservation training, and reef restoration activities.
Bambike Ecotours in the Philippines connects bamboo agroforestry, fair trade bicycle manufacturing in rural communities, and regenerative tourism experiences. The loan will support the development of Ligtasin Cove in Batangas, a bamboo-built tourism destination that will include coastal ecotours and a bamboo nursery for reforestation and erosion control. The initiative aims to create local jobs while expanding lower-carbon tourism experiences that connect travelers with community-led environmental restoration.
"At Agoda, we believe the future of travel depends on the resilience of the destinations we serve," said Timothy Hughes, Vice President of Corporate Development at Agoda. "These investments support local pioneers integrating environmental restoration and community well-being into their operations, demonstrating the potential of impact-driven travel."
Six months after the Fund's initial investments, early results across Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines demonstrate encouraging environmental and community impact.
Across Southeast Asia, three organizations advanced community-led tourism in meaningful ways. In Thailand, Local Alike expanded its Travel With Care initiative to 10 destinations, launching 16 regenerative tourism activities and securing partnerships with national parks and tourism authorities to develop a white paper on regenerative tourism. In the Philippines, Ecohotels grew its Bahay Farms initiative by onboarding 22 farmers, planting 500 mango trees, increasing plant-based menu offerings from 35% to 50%, and launching its Green Warriors workforce program, with 5 of 15 trainees already placed in hospitality roles. In Indonesia, Sejiva introduced heritage walking tours and coral restoration experiences across West Java and Jakarta, while scaling its #travelpositive campaign to reach broader audiences.
"We are incredibly encouraged by the impact created so far by our inaugural cohort," said Sarah Payne, Senior Director of Impact at the UnTours Foundation. "These businesses are expanding regenerative tourism models, strengthening local livelihoods, and embedding measurable environmental outcomes into their growth. Their progress shows how flexible financing can translate into tangible impact on the ground."
The Fund is part of Agoda's broader sustainability strategy and builds on its partnership with WWF-Singapore through Agoda's Eco Deals program. Through Eco Deals, Agoda works with hotel partners across Asia to offer travelers discounted stays while directing a portion of proceeds to WWF's conservation initiatives. Those funds also support the Sustainable Tourism Impact Fund, extending conservation impact to small tourism enterprises, strengthening ecosystem health and community resilience at the destination level.
Tourism enterprises across the region advancing conservation, climate resilience, sustainable mobility, and community-led economic development are encouraged to apply for the next round of funding at: https://untoursfoundation.org/sustainable-tourism-impact-fund.
