FUNCTIONS OF THE APNEA COMPUTER
Software
a) MSST Minimum Suggested Surface Time
The MSST is minimum interval of time on the surface that is suggested between
two dives to reduce freediving risks.
•
WARNING!
The minimum suggested recovery times between two dives indicated by
the MSST calculation can reduce, but not eliminate, the risks of accidents
caused by freediving, such as syncope, Taravana, and/or hemoptysis,
because there are many other factors to consider, such as age, body
mass, training, physical condition, pre-existing medical conditions (both
known and unknown to the diver), and more, which the Apnea computer
software cannot calculate.
The MSST is calculated differently for two depth brackets:
• To a depth of 30 meters or less, the MSST is twice the dive time in seconds,
rounded up to the next whole minute. That means that for a dive with a dive
time of 1 minute 40 seconds, the MSST is 4 minutes.
• For depths greater than 30 meters, it is the maximum depth reached during
the dive divided by 5 and rounded up to the next whole minute. So, for a dive
to a maximum depth of 41.00 meters, the MSST will be 9 minutes.
Calculation of the MSST is enabled by default. It can be disabled using the
corresponding option in the “FREE SET” menu.
When MSST is active it will be displayed in the middle of the screen with the
label “MSST” flashing until the countdown has concluded (the clock reaches
00:00).
