Flying After Diving - Suunto Favor Air User Manual

- The desaturation/no-flying time in hours and minutes is shown next to the non-blinking
airplane in the center window of the display.
- The temperature in C [ F] is shown in the lower left corner.
- The present cylinder pressure in bars [psi].
If you start a new dive after less than 10 minutes at the surface, the FAVOR AIR
interprets this as a continuation of the previous dive. The DIVING display will return, the
DIVE number will remain unchanged, and DIVE TIME will continue from where it left off.
After 10 minutes on the surface, subsequent dives are by definition repetitive. The DIVE
counter displayed in the dive planning mode will progress to the next higher number if
you make another dive after 10 minutes of surface interval time.
Dive Planning
You may, at any time on the surface, enter the DIVE PLANNING mode in the manner
described in Section 3.3.2, by touching the PLAN/ON and COM contacts. The FAVOR
AIR will take into account the residual nitrogen caused by your previous dives. The
no-decompression times given for different depths will therefore be shorter than before
your first dive.
You may also read the time by touching the TIME/MODE and COM contacts, as
described in Section 3.3.3.

3.5.2 Flying After Diving

The no-flying time is shown in the center window next to the non-blinking airplane image.
The blinking airplane is a reminder, when the alternative display showing surface time is
on. Flying or traveling to a higher altitude should be avoided anytime the airplane
symbol is displayed.
The no-flying time displayed by the FAVOR AIR is always at least 12 hours or equivalent
to the so-called desaturation time (if longer than 12 hours). When this time has elapsed,
the residual nitrogen is no longer a factor for subsequent dives. At this time the FAVOR
AIR will automatically deactivate itself.
In the permanent ERROR mode the no-flying time displayed is 39 hours 59 minutes.
Flying or traveling to a higher altitude after a dive may significantly increase the risk of
decompression sickness.
