FREE DIVE MODE
When FREE (Free Dive Mode) is selected as the Operating Mode, the GEO will

based upon a default FO2 of AIR and the amount remaining during 24 hours is
carried over between FREE and NORM Operating Modes.
To access FREE Operating Mode while Watch MAIN TIME is displayed, press

time for 2 seconds. The graphic FREE will flash indicating that FREE can be

To select FREE for diving, press/release the M button while the FREE graphic
