3. DIVING WITH THE DIVE COMPUTER

This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive computer and interpret

its displays. Each display has been carefully designed to provide important infor-

mation you will need to plan your dive or dive series.
You will find that the instrument is easy to use and read. Each display shows only the

data relevant to that specific diving situation. For example, while you are on a dive,

surface interval data is irrelevant and therefore not shown. On the other hand, while

you are on the surface after a dive, remaining no-decompression time for that dive is

irrelevant and therefore replaced with information for your next dive.

3.1 USE OF WATER CONTACTS

As described in Section 2.1, “Water Contacts”, the dive computer is controlled with

the COM (common), PLAN/ON, and TIME/MODE contacts (Fig 3.1), as follows:

Activation:

touch the PLAN/ON and COM contacts.

Dive planning:

once the instrument has been activated, touch the

PLAN/ON and COM contacts.

Clock:

once the instrument has been activated, touch the

TIME/MODE and COM contacts for two seconds.

The time is then displayed for four seconds.
