NOTE

The memory will retain approximately the last 42 hours of dive time.

 

After that, when new dives are added, the oldest dives are deleted.

 

The contents of the memory will remain when the battery is changed

 

(providing that the battery has been replaced according to the instruc-

 

tions).

NOTE

Several repetitive dives are considered to belong to the same repetitive

 

dive series if the no-fly time has not ended. See Section 7.2. Dive

 

numbering for further information.

7.6.2. Dive history

The dive history is a summary of all the dives recorded by the dive computer.

7.7. Suunto Dive Planner (SDP)

Suunto Dive Planner is an essential part of your dive. It is used for creating dive plans.

WARNING

Using the Suunto Dive Planner software is not a substitute for proper

 

dive training. Diving with mixed gases has dangers that are not famil-

 

iar to divers diving with air. To dive with trimix, triox, heliox and nitrox

 

or all of them, divers must have specialized training for the type of

 

diving they are doing.

Start creating a dive plan by defining the maximum depth and bottom time. Next, plan travel, bottom and decompression gases. Based on the gases, the Dive Planner calculates the decompression schedule, gas change and decompression depths. After the decom- pression schedule is ready, the needed gas volume for the dive is calculated based on the Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rate that can be checked from Suunto Dive Manager.

WARNING

Always use realistic SAC rates and conservative turn pressures during

 

dive planning. An over-optimistic or erroneous gas planning can result

 

in the exhaustion of breathing gas during decompression or in a cave

 

or a wreck.

After you finish planning your dive with Suunto Dive Planner, download the gases, settings and alarms into your dive computer. You can use your Suunto HelO2 to fine-tune the set- tings and gases manually.

Always use alternative dive planning methods, such as dive tables, when you plan the dive. After planning your dive, analyze your dive gases and if they differ substantially from the planned gases, replan your dive. Also check the lost gas scenarios in case your de- compression gases are altered during a dive, for example, due to a lost cylinder or a broken valve.
