LOGGING YOUR DIVES
Immediately after a dive, various information is stored in the DataMax
Sport’s memory that can be accessed in the
“Dive Log Mode.” Recalling this
information gives you a chance to record it in your log book. Up to 9 dives
are stored and can be accessed by pressing the activation button (Fig. 5a).
Dive Log Mode will automatically scroll through all dives for the most
recent day of diving starting with the most recent dive first. The log displays
dive number, maximum depth, bottom time, and maximum ascent rate. It
also displays end–of–dive tissue loading (Fig. 5b). This is handy when mak-
ing decisions about future dive plans.
ALTITUDE DIVING
The DataMax Sport automatically compensates for decreased ambient
pressure when activated at high altitudes up to 14,000 feet. Its program
contains a high altitude algorithm that reduces no-decompression limits to
add a larger zone of caution. Whenever it is activated above 4,000 feet, it will
automatically recalibrate itself to measure depth in feet of fresh water.
KNOWING WHEN TO FLY
Due to the present lack of a complete dataset derived from actual human
testing, there are different recommendations cited by various scientific
organizations for the amount of time a diver should wait before flying after
