During decompression, ASC TIME will count down toward zero. When the ceiling
moves upwards, you can ascend to the new ceiling. You may surface only when the
ascent time reaches zero and ASC TIME is replaced by NO DEC TIME.
3.4 AT SURFACE
3.4.1 Surface Interval
An ascent to any depth shallower than 1.5 m [5 ft] will cause the DIVING display to
be replaced by the SURFACE displays, giving the following information.
- The surface time in hours and minutes (separated by a colon), telling the duration
of the present surface interval. It is shown below SURF TIME in the center window
of the display.
- The dive time in minutes, i.e. the total duration of the most recent dive, is displayed
above DIVE TIME in the lower right corner.
- The maximum depth of your most recent dive in meters [ft] is shown in the same
position as your depth readings during the dive. MAX indicator is then shown in front
of the value. In addition the graphical depth display shows a single bar at the
maximum depth.
- The temperature in C [ F] is shown in the lower left corner.
- The no-flying warning is indicated by a blinking airplane.
- The desaturation/ no-flying time in hours and minutes is shown next to the
non-blinking airplane in the center window of the display.
If you start a new dive in less than 10 minutes at the surface, the SOLUTION
á
interprets this as a continuation of the previous dive. The DIVING display will return,
the DIVE number will remain unchanged, and DIVE TIME will begin where it left off.
After 10 minutes on the surface, subsequent dives are by definition repetitive. The
DIVE counter displayed in the dive planning mode will progress to the next higher
number if you make another dive.
Dive Planning
You may, any time, on the surface enter the DIVE PLANNING mode in the manner
described in Section 3.2.2, by touching the ON/PLAN and COM contacts. The
SOLUTION
á
will take into account the residual nitrogen caused by your previous
dives. The no-decompression times given for different depths will therefore be
shorter than before your first dive.
You may also read the time by touching the TIME/MODE and COM contacts, as
described in Section 3.2.3.
