  • Page 10: Introduction

    The advantage of Suunto RGBM is additional safety through its ability to adapt to a variety of situations and dive profi les. The Suunto Vytec allows the user to choose between a traditional Rec- ommended Safety Stop and Deep Stops. Deep Stops are decompres- sion stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of minimizing microbubble formation.

    The timekeeping display is the default display of the instrument (Fig. 2.1.). If a button is not pressed within 5 minutes, the dive com puter beeps and returns to the timekeeping display automatically (except in Diving and Simula- tion modes). The timekeeping display shuts off after two hours, but pressing the PLAN or TIME button activates it.

    2.4.2. Pairing and Code Selection In order to receive wireless data the transmitter and the Vytec wrist unit need to be paired. During the pairing procedure the transmitter and wrist unit select a common transmission code. The transmitter turns on when the pressure exceeds 15bar [218 psi] and it then starts sending pressure data together with a code number.

  • Page 17: Transmission Data

    The selected transmission code can later be verifi ed via the alternative display, by pressing the “TIME” button twice. If needed, the stored code can be manually erased in this display by pressing the “PLAN” (up) button and then pressing “MODE” (select). The Vytec will now erase the stored code and start displaying “SETC”...

    If the battery symbol is displayed in the Surface mode or if the display is faded or weak, the battery may be too low to operate the dive computer and battery replacement is recommended. NOTE! For safety reasons the backlight cannot be activated when the low battery warning is indicated by the battery symbol.

    The surface interval must be at least 5 minutes for a dive to be considered a repetitive dive. Otherwise, it is considered a continuation of the same dive. The dive number will not change and the dive time will continue, where it left off (see also section 3.6.2.

  • Page 24: Mandatory Safety Stop

    [40 ft] momentarily or 10 meters/min [33ft] con- tinuously the micro-bubble build-up is predicted to be more than allowed for in the decompres- sion model. The Suunto RGBM calculation model responds to this by adding a Mandatory Safety Stop to the dive. The time of this Manda- tory Safety Stop will depend on the severity of the ascent rate excess.

  • Page 25: Deep Stops

    3.2.3. Deep Stops The Suunto Vytec allows the user to choose a deep stop algorithm instead or the traditional recommended safety stop. Deep Stops are decompression stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of minimizing microbubble formation and excitation.

    The Bookmarks will also be shown as annotations in the PC-software, Suunto Dive Manager. To make a bookmark on the profi le memory during a dive press the PLAN button (Fig. 3.10.).

    fi rst (lowest) bar graph segment appears. As your body absorbs more nitrogen, more segments start to appear. White Zone - As a safety precaution Suunto recommends you should maintain the no-decompression bar graph within the white zone. Seg- ments start to appear when the available no-decompression time de- creases below 100, 80, 60, 50, 40, 30 and 20 minutes.

  • Page 28: Ascent Rate Indicator

    Red Zone – As all of the bars appear (red zone), your no-decompression stop time has become zero and your dive has become a decompression stop dive (for more information see section 3.3.6. “Decompression dives”). 3.3.5. Ascent Rate Indicator The ascent rate is shown graphically along the right side of the display as follows: TABLE 3.2.

    3.3.6. Safety Stops and Deep Stops If Deep Stops are not used a 3 minute Recom- mended Safety Stop is prompted after every dive to 10m depth (fi g. 3.11). Continuous ascent rate violations will result in Mandatory Safety Stops (fi g. 3.14). When enabled, Deep stops are calculated.

    3.8. HIGH ALTITUDE DIVES AND PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT The dive computer can be adjusted both for diving at altitude and also to increase the conservatism of the mathematical nitrogen model. 3.8.1. Altitude Adjustment When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the correct Altitude Mode according to Table 3.4.
  • Page 43 The Vytec also allows experienced divers who are willing to accept a greater level of risk to adjust the RGBM model. The default setting is RGB100 which gives full (100%) RGBM effect. Suunto strongly advises to use full RGBM effect. Statistically very experienced divers have less incidents with DCI.

    The Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) is a modern algo- rithm for predicting both dissolved and free gas in the tissues and blood of divers. It was developed in a co-operation between Suunto and Bruce R. Wienke BSc, MSc. PhD. It is based on both laboratory experiments and diving data, including data from DAN.
