Using the Dive Mode
This mode is used to measure depth underwater. When the water sensor detects water in
any mode other than the transfer mode and low power mode, the watch automatically
switches to the dive mode. When the depth exceeds 1 m (4 ft) during the preliminary dive
display, measurement of depth begins enabling the watch to display necessary
information including current depth, dive time and max. depth for the diver.
• During the preliminary dive display, the diver mark flashes in the lower left corner of the
display and the display of each mode prior to switching to the preliminary dive display is
maintained.
• Once measurement of water depth begins, if diving continues for more than 3 minutes at
a depth of more than 1 m (4 ft), the watch switches to the scuba diving display and
displays no-decompression limit time.
• The diver mark flashes in the lower left corner of the display while diving.
WARNING
Always make sure to confirm that the "diver mark" is flashing in the lower left corner of
the display during the preliminary dive display before beginning a dive. The water
depth measurement function does not operate if "BATT", "ERR", "CHK" or other error
messages (indicating that a warning function has been activated) are flashing in the
lower left corner of the preliminary dive display. In addition, it is recommended to
sufficiently charge the watch prior to starting a dive to avoid the watch becoming
insufficiently charged while diving even if the insufficient charge warning function
("BATT" display) has not been activated.
* For further details, refer to the section on "
Warning Functions".
