7. Watch Mode/Surface Mode (TIME) Watch Mode and Surface Mode display the current Time and Date. NOTE: Surface Mode is used when nitrogen remains in the body after div- ing. It displays the same data as Watch Mode (current Time, Date, Day of Week), plus includes Desaturation and Surface Interval time.
The NO FLY icon will disappear from the screen after 18 hours. Con- versely, even if nitrogen saturation or oxygen uptake times out and your Z1 switches to Watch Mode, the NO FLY icon will remain until 18 hours have elapsed.
NEVER fl y when your Z1’s NO FLY icon is displayed. • NEVER fl y when you have desaturation time still showing on your Z1. 8. Dive Mode (DIVE) In the Dive Mode, important information for a scuba dive is shown.

8-3. Safety Stop The Z1 features a Safety Stop function. After a dive of 10m/33ft or deeper, when ascending without a decompres- sion stop, a 3-minute countdown timer will activate at a depth of 6m/20ft. This timer will continue to run from a depth of 6m/20ft and will stay on until you reach a depth of 1.6m/5ft.
8-4. Decompression Dive The Z1 provides the following information during a decompression dive. Displayed every 3m/10ft (3m, 6m, 9m, 12m, etc.). Depth to stop for First (deepest) deco stop is determined by the length decompression and depth of the dive.
When you make your decompression stop at the indicated depth, DECO turns off , the N indicator changes from blinking to ON, and the dive reverts to a no-decompression dive. • The decompression dive event is then recorded in your Z1’s dive log.
