Galileo Computer And Water Temp

[MattPSI]

I have a Galileo Luna and have read through the manual and done some internet searches to find out more specifics about if and how water temp impacts the calculations of the computer. I read that the computer takes into account the water temp of the previous dive when doing dive planning, which in my mind implies that the computer normally uses water temp in it's calculations. This feature is not well documented or publicized it seems. Does anyone know for sure if water temp is considered? And, if so, is it on by default, or perhaps do you need to have MB level set to L1 or more?

i would assume temperature still is used. the current water temp has been used to calculate the remaining bottom time in uwatec models all the way back to the uwatec aladin pro.

i have never seen details of exactly how it is used. my assumption is that colder water gets shorter bottom times. how much shorter? no idea. it is a trade secret.

Ok thanks for the comments. I found some more information about temp integration after looking at documentation for the uwatec smart Pro computers. It looks like that computer shares a lot of tech that is in the galileo products. So available evidence certainly supports the idea that one can expect colder water temperatures to result in more conservative bottom times.
