The decompression stop depth and time flash. |
None |
Your partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) value is above the specified warning value. |
Your PO2 value flashes yellow. |
%1 OTU accumulated. |
Your oxygen toxicity units are above the safe limit. During a dive, "%1" is replaced with the number of units accumulated. |
The alert appears every two minutes, up to three times. |
250 OTU accumulated. |
Your oxygen toxicity units (OTU) are at 250 units, and you are nearing the safe limit of 300 units. |
None |
5 minutes to NDL. |
You have 5 minutes of no decompression limit (NDL) time remaining. |
|
10 minutes to NDL. |
You have 10 minutes of no decompression limit (NDL) time remaining. |
|
Approaching deco stop. |
You are within one stop interval (3 m or 9.8 ft.) of the decompression stop depth. |
None |
ASCEND OR SWITCH GAS PO2 is high. |
Your PO2 value is above the specified critical value. |
Your PO2 value flashes red. The alert appears every 30 seconds, up to three times, until you ascend to a safe level. |
Battery is low. |
Less than 20% battery power remains. |
The alert appears when the dive computer is below 20% battery power. |
Continuing on %1. Switch at any time. |
You selected Not Now when prompted to switch to a higher-oxygen gas, or you ignored the prompt. |
The gas does not change. You will be prompted again in two minutes. |
CNS toxicity at 80%. |
Your central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity is at 80% of the safe limit. |
The alert appears during a dive and on the dive pre-check screen for your next dive. |
CNS toxicity at %1%. |
Your CNS oxygen toxicity is too high. During a dive, "%1" is replaced with your current CNS percentage. |
The alert appears every two minutes, up to three times. |
Decompression cleared. |
You completed all decompression stops. |
None |
DESCEND OR SWITCH GAS PO2 is low. |
Your PO2 value is below 0.18 bar. |
If you are within the first two minutes of your dive, your PO2 value flashes yellow. Otherwise, your PO2 value flashes red. The alert appears every 30 seconds, up to three times, until you descend to a safe level or switch gases. |
DESCEND TO %1 You are above your deco ceiling. |
You are more than 0.6 m (2 ft.) above the decompression ceiling. |
The current depth and stop depth flash red. If you remain above the decompression ceiling for more than three minutes, the decompression lockout feature goes into effect. |
Descend to complete safety stop. |
You are more than 2 m (8 ft.) above the safety stop ceiling. |
The current depth and stop depth turn yellow. |
Diluent PO2 is low. Flushing may be dangerous. |
In a CCR dive, your diluent's PO2 value is below 0.18 bar. |
Your PO2 value flashes yellow. |
Dive will end in %1 seconds. |
The dive computer will automatically end and save the dive. During a dive, "%1" is replaced by the number of seconds. |
None |
Do not dive. Failed to read depth sensor. |
The dive computer has invalid or missing depth sensor data before you start a dive activity. |
Do not start a dive. Call Garmin® Product Support. |
EVALUATE DIVE CONDITIONS Dive computer was rebooted. |
The dive computer rebooted during the dive. |
The dive computer simulates the dive for the time it was rebooting. Since other alerts may not have been triggered, evaluate your current depth and dive conditions. |
Hold BACK to end assistance. |
Diver assistance is still active. |
The alert appears every two minutes while diver assistance is still active. |
NDL exceeded. Deco required. |
You have exceeded your NDL time. |
The dive computer begins providing decompression stop guidance. |
Reminder: Torch is still on. |
The dive torch has been on for 5 minutes. |
The alert appears every five minutes while the torch is still on. |
SAFELY END DIVE Battery critically low. |
Less than 10% battery power remains. |
The alert appears when the dive computer is below 10% battery power. |
SAFELY END DIVE Dive computer error. |
The computer encountered an issue that it could not recover from. |
Use a backup dive computer or dive plan and end your dive. Residual tissue loading was cleared. If the issue continues, call Garmin Product Support. |
SAFELY END DIVE Failed to read depth sensor. |
The dive computer has invalid or missing depth sensor data after you have started a dive activity. |
Use a backup dive computer or dive plan and end your dive. Call Garmin Product Support. |
Safety stop cleared. |
You completed the safety stop. |
None |
Safety stop started. |
You ascended above 6 m (20 ft.) without other decompression guidance. |
The safety stop countdown timer begins, if configured. |
SLOW YOUR ASCENT Ascending too fast. |
You are ascending faster than 9.1 m/min. (30 ft./min.) for more than 5 seconds. |
None |
Switch to %1 now? |
In a multi-gas dive, a gas with a higher oxygen content is now safe to breathe. During a dive, "%1" is replaced with the name of the gas. |
You can switch gases now, or wait to switch gases later in the dive. A confirmation message for your choice appears. |
Switched to high setpoint. |
The dive computer automatically switched to your specified CCR high setpoint. |
None |
Switched to low setpoint. |
The dive computer automatically switched to your specified CCR low setpoint. |
None |
This pool dive will not be saved to the dive log. |
The dive computer is in pool dive mode. |
