Dive Setup
The first submenu of System Setup+ is Dive Setup.
Mode
Mode sets which breathing circuit configurations are available:
• OC/CC (default)
• OC
• OC/SC (only on models with external PPO2 connector)�
• Gauge (e�g� bottom timer mode)
When changing to or from Gauge mode, the decompression tissues
are cleared� This is because when in Gauge mode the Petrel does not
know what gas you are breathing�
Salinity
Water type (salinity) affects how the measured pressure is converted to
depth� Settings:
• Fresh
• EN13319
• Salt
Fresh and Salt water differ by about 3%� Salt water, being denser, will
display a shallower depth for the same measured pressure versus the
Fresh water setting�
The EN13319 value is between Fresh and Salt� It is from the European
CE standard for dive computers, and is the Petrel’s default value�

Important information for OPEN CIRCUIT divers
All Petrel models include Closed Circuit (CC) functionality�
Leaving CC mode enabled makes the Petrel more complex
and less optimized for OC diving�
Switch Mode from OC/CC to OC before performing an open
circuit only dive�
Also, when CC mode is available, then OC is treated as
bailout� This is why OC is shown as a yellow warning when CC
mode is available�
