Halcyon Symbios Blue Handset Computer
The Symbios Blue is the straightforward way into Halcyon's Symbios system. It is a wireless, ultra-slim, glove-friendly wrist computer with a transflective colour display, built for training, travel and regular diving rather than the most complex setups.
It supports oxygen, nitrox and trimix, runs open circuit and fixed setpoint CCR modes, and fits into the wider Symbios ecosystem, including the Symbios Tank Pod. Halcyon sells it without a case.

Why divers choose the Symbios Blue
Readable without fuss
The transflective display is readable in bright conditions without high brightness, with a large layout and extra data on separate pages.
Decompression you can see
A Gradient Factor chart shows the leading tissue compartment and how decompression is progressing, so you can follow your dive as it evolves.
Learn it before you get wet
Run every function from the mobile app on land, simulating depth, time, pressure and O2 cells, then practise in shallow water.
Features that matter underwater
Two buttons, tactile feedback
The 2-button interface gives tactile feedback, which helps when you are wearing thick gloves.
Vibration alerts and compass
Vibration alerts get your attention when you are not looking at the screen, and the digital compass is built in.
Profiles and customisable fields
Set screen layouts, features and gas configurations before the dive, with one-press adjustment through profile management.
Trim monitoring is optional and needs a Tank Pod. The Blue does not connect wirelessly to rebreathers or to the Symbios CCR Pods. For wireless CCR data, choose the Silver.
Why choose the Symbios Blue
The Blue shares the Silver's screen, battery, algorithm and log, and works with the same Symbios Tank Pod, GPS Pod, DPV interface and app. The difference is rebreather integration. The Blue runs fixed setpoint CCR only: it does not connect wirelessly to a rebreather or a CCR Pod, and Halcyon says it cannot be upgraded to. If you dive a rebreather, or plan to, and want wireless monitoring, choose the Silver.
Spend over £100 with us and you can bring your new kit to one of our instructor-run pool sessions for free, to get confident with it. It is not one-to-one coaching, so you dive it yourself, and kit that has been in the water cannot be returned.
Who is the Symbios Blue for
- Divers moving from a basic computer to Bühlmann with gradient factors
- Trimix and nitrox divers who want a clear display
- Divers who plan to add a Tank Pod and grow into the Symbios system
Who it may not be for: if you dive a rebreather and want wireless CCR data, check the Silver first. Compare all dive computers if you are undecided.
How to get the best from the Symbios Blue
- Pair it with the mobile app and set up your gases and profiles.
- Practise on land with simulated dives.
- Set your gradient factors to match your training.
- Pair any Tank Pod before the dive.

Frequently asked questions
"Why is there no case?"
Halcyon lists the Blue without one. The Silver configurations come with a case.
Can I add a Tank Pod?
Yes. Halcyon lists tank pods as part of the Symbios ecosystem the Blue works with, and trim monitoring is optional through the pod.
Can I use it on a rebreather?
In fixed setpoint mode only. The Blue does not connect wirelessly to a rebreather or a CCR Pod and cannot be upgraded to. For that, choose the Silver.
