SECTION 5 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
When you are finished using the Dive Plan function, press the MODE button at any time to switch
back to Watch Mode.
WARNING: DO NOT PLAN DIVES DEEPER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH COSMIQ DOES NOT
DISPLAY A NO DECOMPRESSION LIMIT. Doing so greatly increases your chances of exceeding
no decompression limits and may cause decompression sickness or central nervous system oxygen
toxicity and may lead to serious death or injury.

5.2 SCUBA MODE

Scuba Mode is meant to be used for scuba diving and not apnea/freediving. It is used to calculate
depth, dive time, water temperature, no decompression limit, safety stop time and ascent rate.
Additionally, it will calculate the depth and time required for a mandatory decompression stop if the
no decompression limit is exceeded. You can adjust the settings for the level of oxygen depending
on the type of air mixture in your cylinder.

5.2.1 Preparing to Dive

There are two ways to prepare for a dive in Scuba Mode: water activation or manual activation.
Water activation: If Scuba Mode is your default underwater mode, then simply enter in the water
when COSMIQ is in Standby or Watch Mode. COSMIQ will automatically activate Scuba Mode
once you descend past 2 meters / 6.5 feet.
Manual activation: Alternatively, navigate to Scuba Mode using the MODE button. Enter the water
and begin descent while in Scuba Mode.
NOTE: On the surface, COSMIQ refreshes its sensors and captures data at 15 second intervals in
Watch Mode. Therefore, there may be a slight delay between descending below 2 meters/6.5 feet
and Scuba Mode activating.

5.2.2 Adjusting the Oxygen Settings

COSMIQ is programmed with a default oxygen level of 21%. You are able to change the oxygen
level based on the air mixture you will be breathing during the dive – Standard Air or Nitrox - with
the default being 21% and the maximum being 40%. Oxygen levels have to be set on the surface
BEFORE the descent. It is not possible to adjust the oxygen settings during a dive.
There are two ways to adjust the oxygen settings for COSMIQ:
1. Using COSMIQ (see below)
2. Using the Deepblu mobile app (see above section 4.5)
Using COSMIQ to adjust the oxygen settings:
You can change the oxygen settings on COSMIQ based on the air mixture in your cylinder before a
dive begins. Remember to always check that the air mixture in your cylinder matches the percentage
inputted into COSMIQ.
To change the settings for oxygen level, use the MODE button to enter into Scuba Mode. Once
