GALILEO 2 (G2) USER MANUAL
3 .12 Apnea mode
The G2 has an advanced Apnea diving
mode which can be enabled from the
feature upgrade (see menu
8. Other
settings ). The main features include
a faster sampling rate than in Scuba
mode along with alarm functions tailored
specifically to Apnea diving.
The G2 measures the depth in Apnea
mode every 0.25 seconds to ensure the
precise maximum depth. In the logbook
the data is saved in 1-second intervals. In
Apnea mode it is also possible to start and
stop the dive manually with a press-and-
hold of the MENU button. This way you can
use the G2 for static Apnea dives, where a
normal dive start depth of 0.8 meters will
not start a new dive.
As with Gauge mode, the G2 in Apnea
mode doesn’t carry out any decompression
calculations. You can only switch to Apnea
mode if the computer is completely
desaturated.
Apnea mode at the surface after a dive
shows the maximum depth and the dive
duration. The surface interval counter starts
after surfacing and the heart rate shows the
current measured value.
Dive session values like water temperature,
total dive time, number of dives and
minimum heart rate are shown with white
color as shown on the screen below.
Apnea mode during the dive shows the
current depth, dive time, ascent or descent
speed, water temperature, maximum depth
and heart rate.
By pressing the SKIN button the temperature
measured from the SCUBAPRO heart rate
belt will be shown in the window of the
heart rate.
