Apnea mode
English
Apnea diving is the most natural form of diving, known also as Free diving or Breath hold
diving. Due to specific demands on Apnea diving, Subgear XP-3G has now this mode
integrated.
Apnea mode is comparable to Gauge mode, it doesn’t have a dive algorithm and all
decisions are left to the diver. Therefore SUBGEAR recommends:
1. Never apnea dive alone.
2. Make only apnea dives which your education and physical condition allow.
In apnea diving fast descents and ascents are allowed. Therefore Subgear XP-3G uses
faster sampling of the depth for higher accuracy. Subgear XP-3G updates display and
maximum depth every 15 seconds, logbook is updated every second.
5.2 Diving in Apnea mode
The following information is displayed in Apnea mode:
In Apnea mode the dive can be started manually by pressing . This function allows fast
sampling to start straight from the surface. Automatic start of the apnea dive will happen
from depth of 0.8m/3ft.
Once activated the Apnea mode will run 15 minutes after surfacing. This allows you to start
a repetitive apnea dive with precise data in the logbook. Surface mode can be stopped with
long press .
Subgear XP-3G Apnea mode has special alarms and functions tailored to Apnea diving
and Apnea training. You can select multiple alarm functions at the same time. The alarm
functions setup is explained in page ->95.
