Creating A Decompression Plan; Viewing And Applying A Decompression Plan; Editing A Decompression Plan; Deleting A Decompression Plan - Garmin DESCENT MK1 Owner's Manual

Creating a Decompression Plan

You can create open-circuit decompression plans and save them for future dives.
1 Press .
2 Select Plan Dive > Deco Plans > Add New.
3 Enter a name for the decompression plan.
4 Select an option:
• To enter the maximum partial pressure of oxygen in bars, select PO2.
NOTE: The device uses the PO2 value for gas switching.
• To enter your level of conservatism for decompression calculations, select Conservatism.
• To enter your gas blends, select Gases.
• To enter the maximum dive depth, select Bottom Depth.
• To enter the time at the bottom depth, select Bottom Time.
5 Select Save.

Viewing and Applying a Decompression Plan

You can replace the current single-gas or multi-gas dive settings with the settings from a decompression plan.

No-Fly Time

After a dive, appears on the default watch face, along with a no-fly time estimate in hours. 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.
