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-fl ying 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 information
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-fl y-
ing time to zero. Within each series, the dives
are given individual numbers. The fi rst 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 minutes
of surface interval time, the dive computer in-
terprets this as a continuation of the previous
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 defi -
nition, repetitive. The dive counter displayed
