Altitude Diving
At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, and your body contains a larger amount of nitrogen than
it would at the start of a dive at sea level. The device accounts for altitude changes automatically using the
barometric pressure sensor. The absolute pressure value used by the decompression model is not affected by
the altitude or the gauge pressure displayed on the watch.
Tips for Wearing the Device with an Exposure Suit
• Use the extra long silicone diving band to wear the device over a thick exposure suit.
• For accurate heart rate measurements, make sure that the device stays in contact with your skin and does
not bump into other wrist-worn devices (
).
• If you are wearing the device over an exposure suit, turn off the wrist-based heart rate monitor to increase
battery life (
Wrist Heart Rate Monitor Settings, page 66
).
