What is the point of a depth alarm?
I'm not Nitrox certified, but my understanding is that if diving on Nitrox, there's a Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) that needs to be observed. A Depth Alarm is a way to have the dive computer warn the diver that the depth has been reached.

Thank you so much for all the very helpful comments !
I´m buying the Suunto just for the sake of having all options but questioning the idea of nitrox on air setting now even more and going to ask this topic plus deep stop during the theory lessons.
