3. Diving with Galileo
English
Maximum displayed time is 999 minutes for
CLASSIC
and
FULL
configurations and
99 minutes for
LIGHT
configuration. For
dives longer than that, the dive time starts
again from 0 minutes.
Depth:
the depth is given in 10cm
resolution until 99.9 meters, after which it
is given in 1m resolution. When the depth
is displayed in feet, the resolution is always
1 foot. At a depth shallower than 0.8m/3ft,
the display shows –––. Maximum possible
depth is 330m/1084ft. At depth greater
than 1,000ft, the leading “1” is not shown,
so 1084ft will be displayed as “084ft”.
!
WARNING
Galileo functions as a decompression
computer to a depth of 120m/394ft only.
At depths deeper than 120m/394ft it will
automatically switch to gauge mode and it
cannot be used as a decompression computer
for the remainder of the dive. To alert you
of the imminent switch, at depths between
115m/377ft and 120m/394ft Galileo displays
the message
SWITCHING TO GAUGE.
No-stop time:
calculated in real time and
updated every 0.5 seconds. Maximum
displayed no-stop times are 199 minutes
for
CLASSIC
and
FULL
configurations and
99 minutes for
LIGHT
configuration.
!
WARNING
During all dives, perform a safety stop
between 3 and 5 meters/10 and 15 feet for 3
to 5 minutes, even if no decompression stop
is required.
Temperature:
Galileo displays the water
temperature during the dive and the air
temperature on the surface.
RBT:
The RBT (remaining bottom time) is
the time you can spend at the current depth
and still have enough gas supply to make a
safe ascent and reach the surface with the
tank reserve. The RBT calculation is based
on your current breathing rate, accounts for
any existing and upcoming decompression
obligation and for any temperature gradient
in the water. It assumes an ascent at the
ideal ascent rate (defined in section 3.2.1).
When the RBT reaches 0 minutes, it means
that Galileo has computed that if you start
your ascent now and ascend at the ideal
ascent rate, you will arrive at the surface
with just the tank reserve, and any further
delay increases the risk that you run out of
gas supply before reaching the surface.
F
NOTE:
-
Galileo needs approximately
2
minutes to analyze your
breathing pattern, thus the RBT
is not displayed during these first
2 minutes.
- When you are close to the
depth of the deepest mandatory
decompression stop, the RBT
indicates the time you can stay at
that depth before reaching the tank
reserve.
Tank pressure:
based on the signal
from the Smart transmitter. The Smart
transmitter has a range of 1.5m/5ft.
Unlike other UWATEC gas-integrated dive
computers, this value is not temperatur
compensated. Temperature-compensated
is still performed to ensure a correct RBT
calculation, but the uncompensated value
is displayed.
