Does the Garmin MK2 use diving PPO2 and pressure in the Altitude Acclimation Calculation?

MODs, I don't see a Garmin subforum, please create one and move this thread if required.

I use a Garmin Fenix for general fitness monitoring. I was wondering if I had an MK2 would it adjust the altitude acclimation for diving both based on inspired PPO2.

If I did two weeks of 5 hour per day Rebreather Cave dives, would it show my altitude acclimation as being below sea level?

As a competitive cyclist that lives at altitude, this could help me adjust my training and racing around dive trips.
 
I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't take those dives into the altitude acclimation calculations. Although the device has a lot of data from different sources, a lot of the functionality is surprisingly disconnected from each other.

I often get notifications like "We're seeing a pattern, on Saturdays you're logging fewer steps then than normal. Even if it's your rest day, maybe do a quick walk to get moving." even though I usually do 3 to 4 hour bike rides on Saturdays and it's usually the day I burn most active calories..

I suspect that you've seen similar things on your Fenix.
