Dive Setup
You can customize the dive settings based on your needs. Not all settings are applicable for all dive modes. You can also edit the settings before you start a dive.
Hold MENU, and select Dive Setup.
- Gases
-
Sets the gas blends used in the gas dive modes (Setting Up Your Breathing Gases). You can have up to twelve gases for each gas dive mode.
- Conservatism
-
Sets the level of conservatism for decompression calculations. Higher conservatism provides a shorter bottom time and a longer ascent time. The Custom option allows you to set a custom gradient factor.
NOTE: Make sure you understand gradient factors before entering a custom level of conservatism. - Water Type
-
Allows you to select the water type.
- PO2
-
Sets the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) thresholds, in bar, for the maximum operating depth (MOD), decompression, warnings, and critical alerts (Setting PO2 Thresholds).
- Scuba Alerts
-
Allows you to set custom alerts for gas dives (Custom Dive Alerts).
- Apnea Alerts
-
Allows you to set custom alerts for apnea dives (Custom Dive Alerts).
- Safety Stop
-
Allows you to change the safety stop duration.
- Last Deco Stop
-
Allows you to set the depth of the final decompression stop.
- End Dive Delay
-
Allows you to set the length of time before the device ends and saves a dive after surfacing.
- CCR Setpoints
-
Allows you to set high and low PO2 setpoints for closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) dives (Setting CCR Setpoints).
- Backlight
-
Allows you to adjust the backlight settings for dive activities. You can enable the backlight throughout the dive or only when you are at depth.
- Heart Rate
-
Allows you to enable or disable a heart rate monitor for dives. The Stored Strap Data option allows you to enable a chest heart rate monitor, such as the HRM-Swim™ or HRM-Tri™ device, that stores heart rate data with the dive. You can view chest heart rate monitor data in the Garmin Dive™ app after you complete the dive.
- Double Tap to Scroll
-
Allows you to double tap the device to scroll through the dive data screens. If you notice accidental scrolling, you can use the Sensitivity option to adjust the responsiveness.
- UP Key
-
Allows you to enable or disable the UP button during dive activities to prevent inadvertent button presses.
- Silent Diving
-
Allows you to disable all tones and vibrations for alerts during dive activities.
- No-Fly Time
-
Allows you to set the no-fly countdown timer mode (No-Fly Time).
- Deco Lockout
-
Allows you to disable the decompression lockout feature. This feature prevents single-gas, multi-gas, and CCR dives for 24 hours if you violate a decompression ceiling for more than three minutes.
NOTE: You can still disable the decompression lockout feature after violating a decompression ceiling.
