No-Fly Time

After a dive, appears on the default watch face, along with a no-fly time estimate in hours
Face, page 4). You should not fly in an airplane during this time. The default no-fly time after a dive is 24 hours.
After a gauge dive or a dive that violated the decompression plan, the no-fly time is set to 48 hours.
TIP: You can add the no-fly indicator to a custom watch face

Altitude Diving

At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, and your body contains a larger amount of nitrogen than
it would at the start of a dive at sea level. The device accounts for altitude changes automatically using the
barometric pressure sensor. The absolute pressure value used by the decompression model is not affected by
the altitude or the gauge pressure displayed on the watch.

• Use the extension
• For accurate heart rate measurements, make sure that the device stays in contact with your skin and does
