Dive With Air; No Decompression Dive; Ascent Rate - Cressi Archimede Manual De Instrucciones

3.1. - DIVE WITH AIR.

The "Dive" program is automatically turned on by the Archimede
dive computer at a depth of more than 5ft. During a no-decom-
pression dive, the following information is displayed (fig. 9):
1 present depth, in meters (m) or in feet (ft);
2 elapsed dive time, indicated with "DIVE T"
3 maximum depth expressed in meters (m) or in feet (ft)
represented by the "MAX" icon;
4 no-decompression time still available, indicated by "NDL"
(No Decompression Limit);
5 ascent rate indicator in segments;
6 bar graph showing the amount of nitrogen absorbed
during the dive;
7 pixel graph display showing CNS O2 Toxicity
(see chapter. 3.5.);
8 Automatic altitude indicator;
9 Nitrox dive indicator, if available;
10 ( ) and ( ) icons, or "Info" (button A) and display light (but-
ton B).During the dive, if you keep the A (
you can also get the following important information (fig. 10 ):
1 present PO2;
2 safety factor, if any has been set;
3 current temperature, expressed in °C or °F;
4 the ( ) icon if you are taking a dive with air (or the FO2%
percentage in your Nitrox) .

3.1.1. - No Decompression Dive.

3.1.2. - Ascent Rate.

The algorithm used in the Archimede Cressi-sub dive com-
puter uses different ascent rates depending on the depth.
The ascent rate is shown on the display by a segmented indi-
cator located on the display bottom right (fig. 9). The indica-
tor works according to the following table:

If, during the ascent, you exceed the maximum allowed
speed, you will see three full segments on the display, you
will hear an audible alarm and, at the same time, the blinking
(
cator with the ascent rate will also be blinking.
Under these conditions, you must stop your ascent until the
