Suunto D5

3.28. Surface and no-fly time

After a dive, Suunto D5 displays surface time since the previous dive and a countdown time
for recommended no-fly time. During the no-fly time, flying or traveling to higher altitude
should be avoided.
No-fly time is the minimum surface time after a dive which is recommended to wait before
entering and flying with an airplane. It is always at least 12 hours and equals desaturation time
when it is more than 12 hours. For desaturation times shorter than 75 minutes, no-fly time is
not displayed.
Once the no-fly time cacluated by your Suunto D5 with Suunto Fused™ RGBM 2 has ended,
you can enter and fly with a normal airplane which is pressurized up to 3000 m.
If decompression is omitted during a dive so that Suunto D5 enters permanent error mode
(see 3.2. Algorithm lock), the no-fly time is always 48 hours. Similarly, if dive is done in gauge
mode (bottom timer), the no-fly time is 48 hours.
WARNING: YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER COUNTS
DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING
NO-FLY TIME PRIOR TO FLYING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-fly time
can greatly increase the risk of DCS. Review the recommendations given by Divers Alert
Network (DAN). There can never be a flying-after-diving rule that is guaranteed to completely
prevent decompression sickness!

3.29. Tank pressure

Your Suunto D5 can be used with the total number of three Suunto Tank PODs for wireless
tank pressure transmission.
To install and pair a Suunto Tank POD, see 4.6. How to install and pair a Suunto Tank POD
In tank pressure view you can see the below screens.
The following example has the tank pressure alarm set to 100 bars. The tank pressure is 75
bars as indicated in the switch window at the bottom, and also shown by the blue arrow in the
arch. When the tank pressure alarm is turned on, the arch is colored yellow between 50 bars
and the value you defined (100 bars).
In the switch window, the actual tank pressure is shown in a blue field by default. This is also
shown with a blue arrow in the arch. The blue part of the arch indicates the range between
the value you set for the tank pressure alarm and the actual tank pressure:
40
