6.1.2. Bookmark

It is possible to record bookmarks in the profile memory during a dive. These bookmarks are displayed when scrolling the profile memory on the display. The bookmarks will also be shown as annotations in the downloadable Suunto Dive Manager PC software.

The bookmark logs the depth, time, water temperature, and tank pressure when available. To make a bookmark in the profile memory during a dive, press the SELECT button. A brief confirmation will be given.

6.1.3. Ascent rate indicator

The ascent rate is shown graphically along the right hand side. When the maximum allowed ascent rate is exceeded, the lower segments start to blink with the top segment staying solid, indicating that the maximum ascent rate has been exceeded continuously or that the current ascent rate is significantly above the allowed rate.

DEPTH OF 6 M.

WARNING DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ASCENT RATE! Rapid ascents increase the risk of injury. You should always make the Mandatory and Recommended Safety Stops after you have exceeded the max- imum recommended ascent rate. If this Mandatory Safety Stop is not completed, the decompression model will penalize your next dive(s). Continuous ascent rate violations will result in Mandatory Safety Stops. When Recommended Deep Stop is enabled, the length is indicated in seconds.

6.1.4. Safety Stops

A 3 minute Recommended Safety Stop is prompted after every dive to over 10m.

6.1.5. Decompression dives

When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive becomes a decompression dive so you must perform one or more decompression stops on your way to the surface. The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by an ASC TIME, and a CEILING notation will appear. An upward pointing arrow will also prompt you to start your ascent.

If you exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive, the dive computer will provide the decompression information required for ascent. After this, the instrument will continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.

Rather than requiring you to make stops at fixed depths, the dive computer lets you de- compress within a range of depths (continuous decompression).
