decompression time remaining. This display is based upon a comparison of
your personal breathing rate and no-decompression status as monitored at all
times throughout the dive.
An “Alternate Dive Mode” replaces the No-decompression Dive Mode
every 15 seconds to display bottom time and maximum depth. This informa-
tion is displayed for two seconds before switching back to the NO DEC value.
USING THE “GRAPHIC DIVER INTERFACE”
To make it easy to check your dive status on the DataMax Pro, a color-
coded system of graphic displays is used. This “Graphic Diver Interface” is
made up of three bar graphs that have green, yellow and red markers to
indicate normal, caution, and danger zones respectively. The three graphs
display tank pressure, ascent rate, and nitrogen loading.
When underwater, you can make quick status checks by glancing at the
three bar graphs and making sure that all are “in the green.” With one quick
glance you can make sure you’re not getting too close to the no-decompres-
sion limit, ascending too fast, or getting low on air.
AUDIBLE ALARM
Just in case you aren’t looking at the display when you need to be, an
“Audible Alarm” will alert you when you are approaching or entering a
dangerous situation. The Audible Alarm is accompanied by a part of the
display that flashes, showing you what the alarm is all about.
