For safety reasons, the factory-set depth limit
of 2.5 m can only be changed by first entering
your Owner-PIN. This is done to prevent the setting of
the maximum diving depth from being changed by unau-
thorised persons. After you have finished scuba diving to
a depth of more than 2.5 m, reset the maximum diving
depth immediately to the default safety setting of 2.5 m
to prevent the risk of injury to others.
For safety reasons, the depth limit is automatically reset
to the default setting of 2.5 m each time the SEABOB is
switched on.
Keep in mind that the SEABOB switches off automati-
cally (Sleep mode) if inactive for a period of more than
10 minutes (Time-off). After switching the SEABOB back
on, you will need to re-enter your Owner-PIN if you want
to start the motor at a diving depth of more than approx.
2.5 m. After entering your Owner-PIN, you can increase
the depth limit again so that the set maximum diving
depth is greater than the one currently shown. The diving
depth display and the warning symbol will start flashing
as soon as you exceed the depth limit.
5.7.2 Adjusting the buoyancy of the
SEABOB
The SEABOB has positive buoyancy (the buoyancy chang-
es with the salt content of the water). The buoyancy of
the SEABOB can be adjusted using an optionally avail-
able weight.
The benefit of the SEABOB‘s buoyancy: when the SEABOB
is switched off and not fitted with an additional weight,
it will always float on the surface of the water or resur-
face if submerged.
Note: Before adjusting the buoyancy, be sure to read the
"Information Sheet for Buoyancy Adjustment Weight"
supplied with the optionally available weight.
Be sure to observe the safety information given in
the "Information Sheet for Buoyancy Adjustment
Weight".
Only attach the buoyancy adjustment weight
for planned dives. Observe the changed driving
characteristics which occur through the adjustment of
the buoyancy and the associated changes to the craft‘s
own buoyancy force. Before you drive with the buoyant
SEABOB in deeper waters, it is essential that you gather
sufficient experience with regard to exposure to changed
driving characteristics of the SEABOB by means of test
drives in shallower waters.
End the dive with a controlled surfacing and in
compliance with the required decompression
times. Immediately turn the SEABOB off when a dive
has finished (Sleep mode) and release the buoyancy
adjustment weight from the craft to ensure a buoyant
SEABOB can not be used by inexperienced or unauthor-
ised persons.
5.7.1 Setting the maximum diving depth
The diving depth limit is factory set to 2.5 m (depth limit
with safety cut-off). If you want to dive to greater depths,
you can increase the diving depth incrementally up to
the maximum diving depth. The maximum possible div-
ing depth is 40 m.
Only divers with an appropriate diving licence are
allowed to increase the maximum diving depth of
2.5 m with the purpose of diving to a greater program-
mable depth.
To set the maximum diving depth, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Switch on the SEABOB (the device should be ready
for operation). The information display appears in the
display.
2. Tap the button combination silver – blue – red in
quick sequence.
3. Enter your Owner-PIN and confirm your entry by
pushing the Trigger (see Chapter 5.3.10 "Entering
PIN"). The menu containing various menu items (up-
per menu level) will appear.
4. Switch between the menu items (upper menu level)
with the green or red button until the maximum div-
ing depth ("diving depth") is displayed in white. Se-
lect it by pushing the Trigger.
5. To increase the maximum diving depth, tap the green
button (repeatedly).
6. To decrease the maximum diving depth, tap the red
button (repeatedly).
7. Push the Trigger against the Controlgrip to confirm
the new setting and return to the upper menu level.
8. To exit the upper menu level, switch between the
menu items with the green or red button until the
menu item to exit the menu appears ("exit"). Push
the Trigger to return to the information display.
5.7 Diving to a depth of more than 2.5 m
Be sure to read the safety information and
instructions relating to operation on the wa-
ter surface and diving to a depth of up to 2.5 m. In
addition, observe the following safety information:
• Only divers with a valid diving licence or accompa-
nied by a certified diving instructor are allowed to use
the SEABOB for diving to a depth of more than 2.5 m.
• Only use the SEABOB for diving if you are completely
healthy. Consult a doctor if you are in doubt.
• Never dive alone. Especially when scuba diving in
caves, make sure that you are accompanied by an-
other person with a second craft.
• Use only complete and fully functional diving equip-
ment, in particular diving goggles, when diving.
• Before diving, always check to make sure that the
depth sensor is working properly.
• When scuba diving, never rely completely on the
depth sensor reading. The depth sensor is provided
for information purposes only. The depth sensor is not
a calibrated gauge and should not be used to perform
tasks such as calculating decompression times.
• Always adhere to the recommended descent and as-
cent rates for scuba diving, while observing the de-
compression times.
• Always keep an eye on the remaining operating time
and include reserves in your calculations. Always en-
sure that you are able to resurface and return to the
starting point by yourself without the assistance of
the SEABOB.
