PLANNING YOUR DIVE
Surface mode shows how many dives you have made, your depth, surface
interval, and residual nitrogen. Once a minute, it alternates with another
display called the
“Pre Dive Planning Sequence” (Fig. 2). When planning
your next dive, the Pre Dive Planning Sequence provides adjusted no-decom-
pression limits based upon previous dives made. The PDPS shows depths
from 30 to 160 feet in ten foot intervals and the available no-decompression
time for each. This makes dive planning extremely simple because you know
exactly how much time you can spend at each depth without making any
table calculations.
MAKING A DIVE
Once you enter the water, the DataMax Sport changes to
“No-decompres-
sion Dive Mode” (Fig. 3). This mode displays dive number, nitrogen loading,
ascent rate and no-decompression (NDC) time remaining.
An
“Alternate Dive Mode” replaces No-decompression Dive Mode every
15 seconds, displaying bottom time and maximum depth. The Alternate Dive
Mode is displayed for three seconds before switching back to the NDC mode.
USING THE “GRAPHIC DIVER INTERFACE”
To make it easy to check your dive status on the DataMax Sport, a color-
coded system of graphic displays is used. This
“Graphic Diver Interface” is
