In-Dive Functions
There are several different displays and functions available in DIVE mode
including: non-decompression dive mode, decompression dive mode,
safety stop condition, gage dive mode, and out of measurement range
condition. The functions of each mode are described below.
Non-decompression Mode
This is for a non decompression (NDL) dive.
Gage Mode
The only functions that can be performed in this mode are: depth, water
temperature, and dive time. If you use this mode when diving, the
N2iTion3
remains in Gage mode for 48 hours. When using gage mode, the safety
stop function is not available.
Decompression Mode
This is used for dives that last longer than the NDL’s. The DECO icon
warning will continue until the advised depths are reached. If you ignore
the DECO warning and go straight to the surface for longer than 10 min-
utes, the display will freeze and all calculations will stop. The
N2iTion3
will
switch back to TIME mode after 48 hours. This information is recorded in
the dive log. The
N2iTion3
can only switch to log, profile, or PC transfer
mode while the calculations have stopped.
Safety Stop Timer
This timer shows the recommended safety stop while in dive mode. If the
diver descends over 32 feet (9.9m), then comes up to a depth of 20 feet
(6m), this value appears instead of NDL. Safety stop time starts at 3 min
-
utes and is counted down until the time is 0. The safety stop timer changes
back to displaying NDL once the timer reaches zero.
The timer stops temporarily if the depth becomes equal to or greater than
26.5 feet (8. 1m) after the counter stops temporarily, and the NDL display
will appear again.
The timer is reset if the depth becomes equal to or greater than 33 feet
(10m). If the diver doesn’t follow the safety stop information the
N2iTion3
will not impose any penalty, as it will with Deco Stops.
