NITROX mode for diving with oxygen enriched mixtures, and GAUGE mode for use as a
bottom timer. The OFF mode disables the DIVE mode, and allows the TIME mode to be
used underwater. The chosen dive mode is displayed when the DIVE mode is accessed,
and you can toggle between the submodes by pressing the UP/DOWN buttons.
