SAT MODE (NORM only)
The Time to Desaturate counter provides calculated time for Tissue Desatuation at sea level
taking into consideration the Conservation Factor setting. It begins counting down 10
minutes after surfacing from a dive, counting down from 23:50 max to 0:00 (hr:min).
When the Countdown reaches 0:00, which will generally occur prior to the FLY count-
down reaching 0:00, the SAT screen remains in the sequence of accessible screens
displaying 0:00 until the FLY counter shuts the Dive Computer operations Off 24 hours
after a last dive.
> The SAT screen is not displayed after a Violation Dive.
> Desaturation requiring Times greater than 24 hours will display 23: - - .
> In the event that Time to Desaturate still remains at the end of 24 hours, the added
time will be zeroed.
> Two hours after a dive, the ATOM's operation reverts to the Watch TIME screen
(Main or Alternate, whichever one was selected as the Default screen) at which time
the Time to Desaturate Countdown continues in the background. Access to the SAT
screen is then gained by first accessing the NORM SURF MAIN screen.
