Screen configurations
The lIGHT screen configuration does not
support diving with more than one gas
mixture. If you have chosen the lIGHT
configuration and you set more than one
gas mixture, the screen configuration will
automatically switch to ClaSSIC during
the dive.

Diving with more than
one gas mixture
F
NOTE:
You must set PMG to ON for Galileo
to allow diving with more than one gas
mixture.
Galileo is equipped with the ZH-L8 ADT MB
PMG algorithm. PMG stands for Predictive
Multi Gas, meaning that when you program
more than one gas mixture, Galileo will
predict the switch to the higher oxygen
concentration gas(es) at the depth(s)
that you specified and provide you at all
times with a decompression schedule
comprehensive of all gas mixtures that you
programmed. In other words, you get full
credit at any point during the dive for all the
extra gas that you are carrying with you.
At the same time Galileo can also show
you what the decompression schedule
would be if you were to finish the dive using
only the gas mixture that you are currently
breathing from, so that you can be prepared
in the event that something did not work as
planned.
! WaRNING
- Diving with more than one gas mixture
represents a much higher risk than diving
with a single gas mixture, and mistakes
by the diver may lead to serious injury or
death.
- During dives with more than one gas
mixture, always make sure you are
breathing from the tank that you intend to
breathe from. Breathing from a high oxygen
concentration mix at the wrong depth can
kill you instantly.
- Mark all your regulators and tanks so
that you cannot confuse them under any
circumstance.
- Before each dive and after changing a tank,
ensure that each gas mixture is set to the
correct value for the corresponding tank.
Galileo enables you to use up to three gas
mixtures during the dive (air and Nitrox
only). The three mixtures are labeled T1,
T2 and TD and must be in ascending order
of oxygen content, i.e. T1 has the lowest
oxygen concentration, T2 an intermediate
value, and TD has the highest oxygen
concentration of the three. Two or more
tanks can also be set to the same oxygen
concentration. If you are diving with only
two mixtures, you will be utilizing tanks T1
and TD.
Galileo can show the tank pressure of
each tank if the corresponding first stage
regulator is equipped with an UWATEC
Smart transmitter, paired as described
in chapter 2. Note that Galileo can be
