3.2 Selecting personal setting
There are several risk factors that can affect your susceptibility to DCS. Such risk
factors vary between divers, as well as from one day to another.
The personal risk factors which tend to increase the possibility of DCS include:
• Exposure to low temperature – water temperature less than 20 °C (68 °F)
• Below average physical fitness level
• Fatigue
• Dehydration
• Stress
• Obesity
• Patent foramen ovale (PFO)
• Exercise before or after dive
WARNING: SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL SETTINGS! If you suspect that risk
factors that tend to increase the possibility of DCS exist, Suunto recommends that
you use this option to make the calculations more conservative. Failure to select
the correct personal settings will result in erroneous dive and planning data.
The five step personal setting can be used to adjust the algorithm conservatism
to fit your DCS susceptibility. You can find the setting under Dive settings »
Parameters » Personal.
