3.4 DIVING
3.4.1 Basic Dive Data
The dive computer will remain in the SURFACE mode at depths less than 1.2 m [4 ft]
(first generation computers 1.8 m [6 ft]). At depths greater than 1.2 m (1.8 m first generation
computers) the instrument will go into the DIVE mode.
Each piece of information on the display is clearly marked (Fig. 3.9). During a no-
decompression dive, the following information will be shown:
• the available no-decompression time (a) in minutes is shown as NO DEC
TIME. It is calculated based on the five factors listed in Section 6.1, “OPERAT-
ING PRINCIPLES”.
• your present depth (d) is shown in meters [ft].
• the elapsed dive time (f) in minutes in the lower right corner, shown as DIVE
TIME.
• the personal/ altitude adjustment (e) setting (A0, A1, or A2).
In the lower left corner the following information will alternate:
• the maximum depth during this dive (b) in meters [ft], indicated as MAX,
for about 5 seconds.
• the water temperature (c), with °C for Centigrade [or °F for Fahrenheit], for
about 3 second.
