This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive
computer and interpret its displays. You will fi nd that this dive
computer is easy to use and read. Each display shows only
the data relevant to that specifi c diving situation.
6.1. DIVING IN AIR MODE [DIVEAIR]
The D9 has three diving modes: Air mode (DIVEair) for diving
with standard air only, Nitrox mode (DIVEean) for diving with
oxygen enriched mixtures and Gauge mode (DIVEgauge) for
use as bottomtimer and for freediving. The chosen dive mode
is displayed when the DIVE mode is accessed.
NOTE! The dive computer will remain in the Surface mode at
depths less than 1.2 m [4 feet]. At depths greater than 1.2 m
the instrument will go into the Diving mode (Fig. 6.1.).
