NOTE: No Decompression Dive Times in NORM
PLAN MODE are based on the FO2 setting for
GAS 1. The FO2 settings for GAS2 and GAS3
are not utilized for Plan calculations.
• Pressing and releasing the A button momentarily (< 2
seconds) 1 time while the NORM SURF MAIN screen is
displayed will access the PLAN MODE Lead-in screen
(NORM SURF > PLAN Lead-in).
• While in the PLAN MODE, pressing and releasing the S
button repeatedly (< 2 seconds each time) will increase the
Planned Depth in increments of 10 FT (3 M), displaying the
information one screen at a time.
Information provided includes Depths and allowable No Decom-
pression Dive Times. The screens will sequence through Depths
from 30 to 190 FT (9 to 57 M), or the Maximum Depth that will
allow theoretical No Decompression Dive Time of at least 1
minute based upon the previous dive profiles in a series of
repetitive dives and taking into account descent and ascent rates
of 60 FPM (18 MPM).
NOTE: When the Conservative Factor is set ON,
No Decompression Dive times are reduced to the
values of the next 3000 foot (915 meter) higher
Altitude.
