Going Diving
1 From the watch face, press START.
2 Select a dive mode (Dive Modes, page4).
3 If necessary, press UP to edit the dive settings, such as the gases, water type, and alerts (Dive Setup, page5).
4 Wait with your wrist out of the water until the watch acquires GPS signals and the status bar is filled
(optional).
The watch requires GPS signals to save your dive entry location.
5 Press START until the primary dive data screen appears.
6 Descend to start your dive.
The activity timer starts automatically when you reach a depth of 1.2 m (4 ft.).

and settings, and your dive entry location is not saved.

dive, you can only scroll through the data screens during a surface interval.
Press START to view the in-dive menu.
8 When you are ready to end the dive, ascend to the surface.
9 Keep your wrist out of the water so the watch can acquire GPS signals and save your dive exit location
(optional).

For a Single-Gas, Multi-Gas, CCR, or Gauge dive, wait for the DIVE END timer to count down.
NOTE: When you ascend to 1 m (3.3 ft.), the DIVE END timer begins counting down (Dive Setup, page5).
You can press START, and select Stop Dive to save the dive before the timer elapses.
For an Apnea or Apnea Hunt dive, press BACK, and select Save.
