3.14.1.1. Multi-gas diving
Suunto D5 allows gas changes during a dive between the gases defined in the Gases menu.
When ascending, you are always notified to change gases when a better gas is available.
For example, you may have the following gases when diving to 40 m (131.2 ft):
•
Nitrox 26% (1.4 ppO
2
) (for bottom)
•
Nitrox 50% (1.6 ppO
2
) (decompression gas)
•
Nitrox 99% (1.6 ppO
2
) (decompression gas)
While ascending, you are notified to change gas at 22 m (72 ft) and 6 m (19.7 ft) according to
the maximum operating depth (MOD) of the gas.
A pop-up notifies you when to change gases, as shown below:
NOTE: When Suunto D5 recognizes a better gas is available in the gas list, a pop-up
message appears to change gas.
WARNING: When diving with multiple gases, remember that the ascent time is always
calculated with the assumption that you use all the gases found in the Gases menu. Always
check that you have only the gases for your current planned dive defined before you dive.
Remove the gases that are not available for the dive.
