3.3. DIVING IN AIR MODE
The Vytec has three operating modes: Air mode for diving with stan-
dard air only, Nitrox mode for diving with oxygen enriched (EANx) mix-
tures and Gauge mode for use as bottomtimer. The Air mode is enabled
in the MODE-SET-SET PREF-MODEL submode (see section 4.3. “Set
Modes”).
3.3.1. Basic Dive Data
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. 3.7.).
All information on the display is labeled (Fig. 3.7. and 3.8.). During a
no-decompression stop dive, the following information will be displayed:
• your present depth in meters [ft]
• the maximum depth during this dive in meters [ft], indicated as
MAX
• the available no-decompression time in minutes in the center
window as NO DEC TIME and as a bar graph on the left side of
the display. It is calculated based on the five factors described
in section 6.1. ”Operating Principles”.

• the elapsed dive time in minutes, shown as DIVE TIME in the
lower right corner
