WHEN ENTERING THE PLANNODEC MODE THE DISPLAY FIRST BRIEFLY
SHOWS TISSUE LOADING, THE REMAINING DESATURATION TIME BEFORE GOING INTO PLAN
MODE. USE UP AND DOWN BUTTONS TO SCROLL DIFFERENT NO-DECOMPRESSION LIMITS.
NO-DECOMPRESSION LIMITS LONGER THAN 99 MINUTES ARE DISPLAYED AS “–”.
The Planning mode takes into account the following information from previous dives:
•
any calculated residual nitrogen
•
all dive history for the past four days
The no-decompression times given for different depths will therefore be shorter than before
your first “fresh” dive.
You can exit the planning mode by pressing the MODE button.
NOTE
The Planning mode is disabled in GAUGE mode and in Error mode
(see Section 5.6. Error conditions). The planning mode calculates
no-decompression times for MIX1 only. If an additional mix is enabled
in the NITROX mode, it does not affect the calculations in PLANNoDec
mode.
Higher Altitude and conservative Personal Adjustment settings will shorten the
no-decompression time limits. These limits at different Altitude and Personal Adjustment
setting selections are explained in
Section 5.9.4. Diving at altitude
and in
Section 5.9.5.

Dive numbering shown during dive planning
Dives belong to the same repetitive dive series if the instrument was still counting down
the no-fly time at the beginning of the dive.
The surface interval must be at least 5 minutes for a dive to be considered a repetitive
dive. Otherwise, it is considered a continuation of the same dive. The dive number will not
change and the dive time will continue where it left off. (See also
Section 7.2. Dive
numbering
).
7.5.2. Simulation Mode (PLANsimulator)
The Simulation mode can be used to become familiar with the features and displays of
the device before diving, to plan dives in advance, for demonstrational or educational
purposes, or just for fun.
In the Simulation mode, time runs faster than real time, so after 15 seconds using a
simulator, the dive time will be one minute.
Dive Simulator
The Dive Simulator is an excellent tool for familiarizing yourself with your dive computer
and for planning your dives. The Dive Simulator allows you to "perform" dive profiles of
your choice and to see what the display would look like during an actual dive - including
basic dive information as well as audible and visual warnings.
