3. Diving with Galileo
If you have uploaded pictures onto Galileo,
you can view them during the dive by
pressing “ MORE ” while the individual
compartment saturation is displayed. Every
time you
press
“
MORE
” while a picture is
showing, the next picture in the memory
sequence of Galileo will be called up. Each
picture stays on the screen for a maximum
of 12 seconds. You can revert to the dive
computer screen at any time by
pressing
and holding the right button.
F
NOTE:
- Profile, compartment saturation
and pictures can be viewed for a
maximum of 1 minute, after which
the regular dive computer screen
will appear again.
- If any warning or alarm is triggered
while you are viewing the profile,
compartment saturation or the
pictures, Galileo will immediately
revert back to the dive computer
screen.
3.4.5 Activating the backlight
To activate the backlight,
press
the right
button (marked “ LIGHT ”). The default
duration of the backlight is 6 seconds , but
you can set it between 2 and 12 seconds
in 1 second increments. You can also set
it to
PUSH ON / PUSH OFF , which means
the light stays on until you turn it off by
pressing the button again.
F
NOTE:
The backlight is not available when
the
REPLACE BATTERY warning
appears.
3.5 Diving with MB levels
Microbubbles are tiny bubbles that can
build up inside a diver’s body during any
dive and normally dissipate naturally
during an ascent and on the surface after
a dive. Dives within no-stop time and
observance of decompression stops do
not prevent the formation of microbubbles
in the venous blood circulation. Galileo
has been equipped with an enhanced
UWATEC algorithm, named ZH-L8 ADT
MB, to reduce the formation of these
microbubbles.
This enhanced algorithm allows the user
to choose a level of conservatism over
and in addition to the worldwide proven
safety record of the standard ZH-L8 ADT
algorithm. There are five levels of added
conservatism (or MB levels), from L1 to L5,
with L5 being the most conservative and
L1 being just a bit more conservative than
the standard ZH-L8 ADT, here referred to
as L0.
Choosing an MB level between L1 and L5
makes the algorithm more conservative,
therefore the diver will have either shorter
no-stop times or deeper and longer
decompression stops (referred to as
level stops) than when diving with L0.
Consequently the body will either take up
less nitrogen (shorter no-stop dives) or will
be able to off-gas more before returning to
the surface (dives with level stops). Both
work towards reducing the amount of
microbubbles present in the body at the
end of the dive.
Please refer to section 2.3.1 for information
on setting the MB level.
