Dive on Air
Deco on 50% and 100%
Should you lose a gas during your dive, you should use the “
” option to remove this gas
from your gas list, so that your KAON recalculates your dive plan according to the gases you are
actually carrying/breathing.
Your KAON does not automatically switch gases underwater during your dive, however if it detects
that there is a 'better' gas for you to breathe on the ascent, it will flash the gas icon in the lower left
corner.
Switching Gases
For example, if you are making the dive described in the previous section (diving “Air” to 30m/100ft,
bottom time of 45 minutes, Deco Gas 1 = 50%, Deco Gas 2 = 100%), the “
” surface dive
planning feature of your KAON will suggest that you switch to 50% nitrox at 23m, and your KAON
will flash the “Air” label in your dive screen at 23m/75ft, prompting you to switch.
On the other hand, let’s say that you were to switch to 50% nitrox prematurely, just after you left the
bottom at 28m/90ft. Then your Gas label on your dive screen would start flashing, alternating with the
PO2 warning, to tell you that you are currently breathing a gas that is NOT considered breathable at
that depth and that you ought to switch to a gas that is considered breathable.
The conservatism setting of your KAON will affect the length of your No Decompression Limit (NDL)
or, if you enter into decompression, the depth and duration of your decompression stops. The more
conservative the setting, the shorter your NDL time and the more decompression time you will incur. In
Tec mode, your KAON is designed to default to the most conservative setting (Level “2”), but you can
adjust this to suit your needs. Here is an example of a dive planned using the “
Conservatism Settings
” feature, where
the key parameters (Air, 30m/100ft, 20 minutes bottom time) are constant, but the level of
conservatism has been changed:
