5.2.11 After Diving
Upon surfacing from a dive, COSMIQ
+
will remain in Scuba Mode for 2 minutes. If you surface
for less than 2 minutes and then descend again, COSMIQ
+
will consider this a continuation of the
previous dive and the calculations and measurements will continue from where they left off.
After 2 minutes, COSMIQ
+
will begin to count the Surface Interval Time. It will be displayed on the
Watch Mode screen and counted upwards in hours and minutes. Any additional descent will be
considered a new dive.
When no pressure is detected by COSMIQ
+
for 3 minutes upon surfacing from a dive, it will switch
automatically to Watch Mode.
The dive data recorded during each dive will be logged and accessible in Log Mode.
After every dive, the No-Fly icon
will be shown in the bottom right corner of the display screen.
The No-Fly Time is dynamic and is based on the calculations of your desaturation time according to
your actual dive prole. The No-Fly Time will be counted downwards every half hour. Avoid ights
and travel to high altitudes
WARNING: DO NOT BOARD A PLANE IF THE ‘NO-FLY’ ICON IS SHOWING ON THE COSMIQ
+
DISPLAY SCREEN. Flying while COSMIQ
+
displays the No-Fly symbol may result in serious injury or
death.
5.2.12 No-Dive Time/Dynamic Lockout
COSMIQ
+
constantly tracks the estimated level of nitrogen in your body based on the dive prole
of all dives in a series. Upon surfacing from a dive, COSMIQ
+
may display a No-Dive Time value
underneath the No-Dive icon
in the bottom left corner of the display screen.
The No-Dive Time function was designed as a safety measure to encourage divers to conduct a
surface interval for a minimum amount of time, to allow for the ofoading of nitrogen gas before
any additional dive in a series.
The No-Dive Time represents the estimated amount of time it will take for the nitrogen levels in
your tissues to return to normal, safe levels. The No Dive Time is counted downwards in half-hour
intervals, so 30 minutes is represented as 0.5 and 1 hour is represented as 1.0.
For most recreational divers, especially those that stay within the no-decompression limits, the No-
Dive Time will almost always be under 30 minutes.
For dives where the no-decompression limit is exceeded and decompression stops are performed
properly, it is also unlikely that the No-Dive Time will be over 30 minutes, although it is still possible
depending on the dive prole.
Finally, for a dive that exceeds the NDL, and where decompression stops are not performed properly
(for example, if the diver ascends above the ceiling depth before the Stop Countdown Time has
elapsed and fails to descend back to the ceiling depth range within 3 minutes), the No-Dive Time is
likely to be 30 minutes or more.
