Requesting Diver Assistance

Assistance is a supplemental feature and should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. Your device cannot contact emergency services on your behalf.

If your are in distress during a dive, you can send a message requesting help to the other members of your dive network.

Hold BACK until you are prompted to release it for assistance.

NOTE: If you do not release BACK soon after the prompt, the dive computer will restart.

After a brief countdown, a request for help will be sent every two minutes. The flashlight on your dive computer will also flash in a distress pattern.
If necessary, hold BACK to cancel the request for help.

A message indicating you are okay is sent to the other members of your dive network.
