DIVE TIME MEASUREMENT
The Dive Time Measurement Mode lets you
measure the total time you spend underwater
while diving or snorkeling, and the amount of
time spent on the surface (surface interval).
The watch also stores one diving time record
(total dive time and dive start time) into log
memory for later recall.
Warning!
• Make sure that you have received proper diving training before
using this watch underwater.
• Always use the “buddy system” when diving - never dive alone.
• Note that this watch is NOT a diving computer, and is not capable
of making decompression calculations.
• Note that this watch cannot be used in helium atmospheres.
Before Diving/Snorkeling
• Be sure to check that the battery power indicator shows Level 1
( ) or Level 2 ( ). If another level is indicated, do not use
the watch for diving/snorkeling.
• Make sure that the watch is set to the correct time of day.
• Check the glass, case and band for cracks or chips.
• Make sure that the band is fastened securely around your wrist.
• Though the functions of this watch are not affected by
magnetism, its case can become magnetized after long exposure
to a magnetic field. The magnetized case, in turn, can interfere
with the proper operation of a separate diving compass. Because
of this, you should keep this watch away from your diving
compass if you suspect its case has become magnetized.
While Diving/Snorkeling
• Check to make sure that timer operation is being performed
properly.
• Avoid frequent use of the backlight in the Dive Time Measurement
Mode. Frequent backlight use can run down the battery, causing
the light and long beep that sounds when dive time measurement
is stopped to become disabled.
• To avoid scratching the watch, take care when diving/snorkeling
near rocks or coral.
After Diving/Snorkeling
To avoid corrosion, rinse your watch thoroughly with fresh water to
remove salt water, dirt, etc. When possible, soak the watch in fresh
water overnight to make sure that all salt is removed.

Note
• Timing of the surface interval starts whenever you hold down D to
stop the dive time measurement operation in step 3, above. This
timing is performed internally, and it is not indicated on the Dive Time
Measurement Mode screen. For details on how to view surface interval
data, see “To view log data”.
• Do not recall log data while dive time measurement is stopped and you
plan to restart it. If you do, the dive time to that point will be stored into
memory and the data will be cleared when you exit the Dive Time
Measurement Mode.
