Using the Diving Mode

You can use the Diving Mode to keep log records of the duration of each of your dives.
Each log record includes a log number, the dive time, and the dive start date and time.
There is enough memory to hold up to 10 diving log records. You can use the Diving
Log Recall Mode to display diving log records currently in memory.

• Use C to enter the Diving Mode as shown under “General Guide”.

• If you leave the watch in the Diving Mode for about 11 to 12 hours, it will

automatically switch to the Timekeeping Mode.

Graphic Area

• The Dive Graph indicates the current dive time in minutes. While a dive time

measurement operation is in progress, the current minute of the dive flashes in the graph.

• The Dive Graph time does not include interval time.

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 diving log 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.

• Note that the current ongoing interval time is shown on the screen of the newest

record in diving log memory. It is not displayed in the Diving Mode. For information
about viewing diving log records, “Diving Log Records”.

• The interval is displayed on the screen of the newest diving log, 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 (see below) will cause timing to resume
from where it was stopped.

To reset a dive time measurement and start interval measurement

While dive time measurement is stopped, press A.

• This creates new diving log record with the currently displayed dive time information

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.

• This creates new diving log record with the currently displayed information and exits

the Diving Mode to the Timekeeping Mode.

• See “Diving Log Records” for more information.

• 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 diving log record is not created in this case.

Diving Log Records

A new diving log 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 diving log 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 diving log records. If there are already 10 diving log

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.

To view diving log records

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press C to enter the Diving Log Recall Mode.

• This displays the newest record in memory.

• The interval currently being measured is displayed on the screen of the newest

diving log record.

• “-:--” will appear on the screen if there is no diving log data stored in memory.

• If you do not perform any operation for about one or two hours in the Diving Log

Recall Mode, the watch will automatically return to the Timekeeping Mode.

2. Press D to scroll through the log records, from newer to older.

• Log numbers are lower for older log records.
