This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive computer and interpret its displays. You’ll find that this dive computer is easy to use and read. Each display shows only the data relevant to that specific diving mode.

6.1. Diving in AIR mode (DIVEair)

In this section, we look at how to make the most of the dive computer when diving with standard air. To activate DIVEair mode, please see Section 5.9.1. Accessing DIVE mode.

AVAILABLE NO-DECOMPRESSION

TIME IS OVER 99 MINUTES SO NO

VALUE IS DISPLAYED.

NOTE	The dive computer will remain in the Surface mode at depths less
	than 1.2 m/4 ft. At depths greater than 1.2 m/4 ft the instrument will
	go into the DIVE mode automatically. However, it is recommended
	that you activate the Surface mode manually before entering the water
	in order to perform the necessary dive pre-checks.

During a No-decompression dive, the following information is displayed:

•your present depth in meters/feet

•the available no-decompression time in minutes as NO DEC TIME

•the ascent rate presented as a bar graph on the right side

•the Diver Attention Symbol if surface interval should be prolonged (see Table 7.1, Alarms)

•the Deep Stop depth, if activated

•the Remaining air time

DIVE DISPLAY - PRESENT DEPTH IS 15 M,
