Or when the TIME button is pressed once or

twice:

•

the current time, shown as TIME

instead of the DIVE TIME

•

the current temperature with °C for

Centigrade [or °F for Fahrenheit]

•

the surface time in hours and minutes

(separated by a colon), telling the

duration of the present surface

interval (Fig. 3.30.)

•

the desaturation/no-flying time in

hours and minutes is shown next to

the airplane in the center window of

the display (Fig. 3.31.).

If set to Nitrox mode, the following informa-

tion will also be shown:

•

the oxygen percentage labeled with

O

2

% is shown on the left side of the

center window

•

the current oxygen toxicity exposure

shown with an Oxygen Limit Fraction

(OLF) bar graph along the left side of

the display.

3.6.2. Dive Numbering

Several repetitive dives are considered to be-

long to the same repetitive dive series when

the dive computer has not counted the no-fly-

ing time to zero. Within each series, the dives

are given individual numbers. The first dive of

the series will be numbered as DIVE 1, the

second as DIVE 2, the third as DIVE 3, etc.
If you start a new dive with less than 5 min-

utes of surface interval time, the dive comput-

er interprets this as a continuation of the pre-

vious dive and the dives are considered to be

the same. The diving display will return, the

dive number will remain unchanged, and the

dive time will begin where it left off. After 5

minutes on the surface, subsequent dives

are, by definition, repetitive. The dive counter
