This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive computer and interpret its
displays. You’ll find that this dive computer is easy to use and read. Each display shows
only the data relevant to that specific diving mode.

In this section, we look at how to make the most of the dive computer when diving with
standard air. To activate DIVEair mode, please see
