Diving

Dive Warnings

• The diving features of this device are for use by certified divers only. This device should not be used as a sole dive computer. Failure to input the appropriate dive-related information into the device can lead to serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays, and limitations of your device. If you have questions about this manual or the device, always resolve any discrepancies or confusion before diving with the device. Always remember that you are responsible for your own safety.
• There is always a risk of decompression sickness (DCS) for any dive profile even if you follow the dive plan provided by the dive tables or a diving device. No procedure, diving device, or dive table will eliminate the possibility of DCS or oxygen toxicity. An individual’s physiological make up can vary from day to day. This device cannot account for these variations. You are strongly advised to remain well within the limits provided by this device to minimize the risk of DCS. You should consult a physician regarding your fitness before diving.
• Perform pre-dive safety checks, such as checking proper device function and settings, display function, battery level, tank pressure, and bubble checks to check hoses for leaks.
• Do not dive with a gas if you have not personally verified its contents and input the analyzed value to the device. Failure to verify tank contents and input the appropriate gas values to the device will result in incorrect dive planning information and could result in serious injury or death.
• Diving with more than one gas mixture presents a much greater risk than diving with a single gas mixture. Mistakes related to the use of multiple gas mixtures may lead to serious injury or death.
• Always ensure a safe ascent. A rapid ascent increases the risk of DCS. Disabling the deco lockout feature on the device can result in an increased risk of DCS, which can result in personal injury or death. Disable this feature at your own risk.
• Violating a required decompression stop may result in serious injury or death. Never ascend above the displayed decompression stop depth.
• Always perform a safety stop between 3 and 5 meters (9.8 and 16.4 feet) for 3 minutes, even if no decompression stop is required.

Dive Modes

The Descent™ Mk2s device supports six dive modes. Each dive mode has four phases: dive pre-check, surface display, in-dive, and post-dive.

• Single-Gas:
  This mode allows you to dive with a single gas blend. You can set up to 11 additional gases as backup gases.

• Multi-Gas:
  This mode allows you to configure multiple gas blends and switch gases during your dive. You can set the oxygen content from 5–100%. This mode supports one bottom gas, and up to 11 additional gases as decompression or backup gases.
  NOTE: Backup gases are not used in no-decompression limit (NDL) and time to surface (TTS) decompression calculations until you activate them during a dive.

• CCR: This mode for closed- circuit rebreather (CCR) diving allows you to configure two partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) setpoints, closed-circuit (CC) diluent gases, and open-circuit (OC) decompression and backup gases.

• Gauge:
  This mode allows you to dive with basic bottom timer features.
  NOTE: After diving in gauge mode, the device can only be used in gauge or apnea mode for 24 hours.

• Apnea: This mode allows you to free dive with apnea-specific dive data. This mode has a higher data refresh rate.

• Apnea Hunt:
  This mode is similar to the Apnea dive mode, but tuned specifically for spearfishers. This mode displays simplified in-dive data, and disables start and stop tones.
