  • Page 24: No Decompression Dive Mode

    • No decompression dive mode The following data applies to dives that do not exceed the no decompression limit. • Maximum depth: This shows the maximum depth measurement since the start of the dive. • No decompression limit: This shows the maximum amount of time allowable at the current depth with no decompression, calculated based on dive data so far.
  • Page 25 When switch A is pressed • Current time: The current time is displayed. • Current water temperature: The current water temperature is displayed. The temperature measurement is retaken at 1 minute intervals. • Partial pressure of oxygen (PO The partial pressure is displayed at the current depth. This value is calculated based on the oxygen mix ratio setting and the current depth.
  • Page 26 • Ascent rate warning This display appears and an alarm is sounded if the maximum safe ascent rate for the current depth is exceeded. The alarm display continues until a safe ascent rate is achieved or until the depth becomes less than 5 feet (1.5 meters). The alarm sounds for three seconds while the warning display (SLOW) and the depth rank blink for five seconds.
