From the Edit gas menu you can also pair your Suunto Tank POD. See 5.6.1. How to install
and link a Suunto Tank POD for information about the wireless tank pressure pairing.
5.5.2. Diving with multiple gases
When diving with Multigas mode, Suunto Ocean allows gas changes between the enabled
gases in the Gases menu. You can have maximum
five gases in the gas list, enabled or
disabled.
NOTE: The decompression algorithm assumes all the enabled gases are planned to use
for the dive and will calculate any decompression stops, decompression time and time to
surface according to the available gases. Make sure to disable any gases you are not
carrying with you.
When ascending, you are always notified to change gas 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 (20 ft) according to
the maximum operating depth (MOD) of the gas. Gas switch notification will be in the switch
window and pressing any button will open a gas list with the recommended gas first. Confirm
the new gas by pressing the middle button. If you don’t want to perform the suggested gas
switch, you can dismiss the gas switch recommendation. This will ignore the suggested gas
until the next possible MOD of an enabled gas. Once the dive has ended, the gas with the
lowest O
2
value will be your active gas for the next dive.
5.6. Wireless tank pressure support
Suunto Ocean can be used together with Suunto Tank POD for wireless transmission of tank
pressure and gas consumption to the dive computer. Suunto Ocean is only compatible with
Suunto Tank POD transmitters. Suunto Tank POD transmits data using 123 kHz band. The
communication from the Tank POD to the dive computer is one-way, meaning the dive
computer does not send anything to the Tank POD.
Enabled features when Suunto Ocean is paired to Suunto Tank POD:
•
Tank pressure from up to 5 gas cylinders
•
Actual gas consumption for the active gas (L/min or cu ft/min)
