Suunto EON Steel Black

4.17. Dive planner

The dive planner in Suunto EON Steel Black helps you to quickly plan your next dive. The

planner displays available no decompression time and gas times for your dive based on

depth, tank size and gas consumption set.

The dive planner can also help you plan dives in series, taking into account the residual

nitrogen from your previous dive(s) based on the planned surface time you enter.

NOTE: It is important to adjust tank size, tank pressure and personal gas consumption

to get the gas calculations right.

See 5.6. How to plan a dive using the Dive planner for details on planning your dives.

This device can be used with nitrox breathing gases (also known as oxy-nitrogen).

WARNING: Do not use nitrox gas mixtures if you do not have proper training. Appropriate

training courses about nitrox and oxygen diving are essential prior to the use of this kind of

equipment with oxygen content greater than 22%.

WARNING: In nitrox use, the maximum operating depth and exposure time are

dependent on the oxygen content of the gas.

WARNING: There is a danger when using nitrox that contaminants may give rise to an

oxygen ignition.

WARNING: The use of breathable air according to EN 12021 may contaminate the diving

apparatus.

NOTE: To minimize the risk of oxygen ignition, always open the pressure valve(s) slowly.

Gas consumption refers to your real-time consumption rate of gas during a dive. In other

words, it is the amount of gas a diver would use in one minute on the surface. This is

commonly known as your surface air consumption or SAC rate.
