    Suunto D5 The dive planner in Suunto D5 helps you to quickly plan your next dive. The planner displays available no decompression time and gas times for your dive based on depth and gas mixture. 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.

  • Page 22: Gas Mixtures

    NOTE: When you have analyzed your gas, you should round the result down when entering it for Suunto D5. For example, if the analyzed gas is 31.8% oxygen, then define the gas as 31%. This makes the decompression calculations safer.

  • Page 23: Language And Unit System

    Gas time is a default field in the lower right-hand corner of default dive modes. If you have not paired a Suunto Tank POD, the gas time field shows n/a. If you have paired a POD but there is no data being received, the field shows –. This may be because the POD is not in range, the tank is closed, or the POD battery is low.
