Dive Time
Unit: 1 second
Range: 23:59'59'' (24 hours)
Dive Interval Time
Unit: 1 minute
Range: 47:59' (48 hours)
• When the interval time exceeds the above range, interval time measurement
automatically stops and the current interval time disappears from the screen of the
newest dive record.
About the Interval
The interval is time that elapses between the stop of the last dive and the start of the
next dive. The watch starts an interval measurement whenever you press
A at the
end of a dive to reset dive time measurement (page E-22).
• Note that the current ongoing interval time is shown on the screen of the newest
record in log memory. It is not displayed in the Diving Mode. For information about
viewing dive records, see page E-24.
E-21
• The interval is displayed on the screen of the newest dive record, only while an
interval timing operation is in progress.
Starting and Stopping Dive Time Measurement
• Be sure to recharge the battery by exposing the watch
to light before starting a dive.
To start dive time measurement
In the Diving Mode, press D.
To stop dive time measurement
While a dive time measurement operation is in progress,
hold down
D for about one second.
• Pressing D again without resetting the dive time
measurement will cause timing to resume from where it
was stopped.

and starts interval measurement. Current ongoing interval measurement is shown
on the screen of the newly created record.
To reset a dive time measurement and exit the Diving Mode
While dive time measurement is stopped, hold down C for about one second.

Important!
• Pressing D again after stopping dive time measurement will cause timing to
resume from where it was stopped.
• Dive time/interval measurement continues internally if you exit the Diving Mode
without resetting. A dive record is not created in this case.
Dive records
A new dive record is created whenever you reset a dive time measurement, either by
pressing
A to start interval measurement or by holding down C to exit the Diving
Mode.
• Each dive record includes a log number, the dive time, the dive start date and time,
and the interval prior to the dive (if there was one).
• There is enough memory for 10 dive records. If there are already 10 dive records in
memory when you perform a reset operation, the oldest record currently in memory
is deleted automatically to make room for the new record.
E-25
To view dive records
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press C to enter the Log memory Recall Mode.
• This displays the newest record in memory.
• The interval currently being measured is displayed on the screen of the newest
dive record.
• “-:--” will appear on the screen if there is no log data stored in memory.
• If you do not perform any operation for about one or two hours in the Log memory
Recall Mode, the watch will automatically return to the Timekeeping Mode.
E-26
2. Press D to scroll through the records, from newer to older.
• Log numbers are lower for older records.

for about three
seconds.
To delete dive records
In the Log memory Recall Mode, hold down A for about three seconds.
• Keep A depressed for the full three seconds. During this time, message CLR will
flash on the display and then “-:--” will appear. Records will not be deleted if you
release
A before “-:--” appears. “-:--” indicates that all records have been deleted.
Note
• This procedure deletes all dive records. Dive records cannot be deleted individually.
• Note that you cannot delete records while a dive time measurement operation is in
progress.

Tide/Moon Data
In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the current tide and the current date’s
moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and moon data
for that date.
• See “Moon Phase Indicator” (page E-60) for information about the moon phase
indicator and “Tide Graph” (page E-63) for information about the tide graph.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the Tide/Moon Data Mode
(page E-11).
Note
• It takes about two seconds to calculate tide graph data. You will not be able to
display a setting screen while data calculation is in progress.
• Moon age is calculated to an accuracy of ±1 day.
E-29
Tide Data
The tide graph that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the
data at 6:00 a.m. for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according
to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another date or time.
• If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct
them if necessary.
• The tide graph is displayed in the Timekeeping Mode, the Tide/Moon Data Mode,
and the Diving Mode.
• If the watch is in the Diving Mode when there is a transition from one date to the
next, the tide graph contents will not change to reflect the data for the new date. If
you want to update the tide graph, exit and then re-enter the Diving Mode.
• If you feel that the information shown by the tide graph is different from actual tide
conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time”
(page E-32) for more information.
