Warning
Experts recommend divers wait at least 24 hours following
any dive before flying in an aircraft or driving to altitude.
Failure to allow sufficient surface interval before doing so
may substantially increase the risk of Decompression Illness
(DCI).
•
Surface time (SURF.T): This is the surface interval time after a
dive. The timer is started from when the depth shown in Dive
mode reaches 5 feet (1.4m) or less. If the depth changes back to
5 feet (1.4m) or more in less than 10 minutes, the previous dive
is continued. Surface time is continued for 48 hours. After that,
surface time is turned off.
•

•
Don’t Fly Icon: While the computer calculates desaturation time

finished calculating desaturation time this Icon is turned off.
