High Altitude Dives And Personal Adjustment; Altitude Adjustment - Suunto Mosquito User Manual

• If a diver had less than 2 hours total accumulated dive time in the last 48
hours, then a 12 hour surface interval before fl ying is recommended.
• Following any dive that required a decompression stop, fl ying should be
delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48 hours.
• Suunto recommends that fl ying is avoided until all the DAN and UHMS
guidelines and the dive computer wait to fl y conditions are satisfi ed.
3.2.4. 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.

3.2.4.1. ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the
correct Altitude Mode according to Table 3.3. The dive computer will adjust its
mathematical model according to the entered altitude mode, giving shorter no-
decompression times at higher altitudes (see chapter 7.1., Table 7.1. and 7.2.).
