Garmin Descent x50i experience?

[scubadada]

So I’m not sure how to download the dive, but the Garmin Dive app does show a little more data.

Our surface interval was 16 hours.
My Conservatism High
My N2 loading entering 8%
My N2 loading exiting 49%

Her Conservatism Custom
Her N2 loading entering 108%
Her N2 loading exiting 107%

Her previous dive N2 loading exiting was 39%
My previous dive N2 loading exiting was 46%

It looks like the computer malfunctioned not simply her conservatism setting. I’ll be reaching out to Garmin in the coming days.

So, what were your wife's custom GF settings, GF low and GF high? Go into setup conservatism and check the settings. I couldn't find the range available for custom settings in the owner's manual.

Unfortunately I wiped that out by setting it back to high after trying to see if I could get the computer to unlock. My guess is that one or both of the settings were set to the rails. I’m basing that off of seeing the touch screen do that to a different menu on my computer.

Maybe Garmin will be able to retrieve that information.

The Garmin Dive app lists "Conservatism" under "Advanced Details", so you should be able to check it there (I don't see conservatism listed in the web app). Mine is listed as "high", I assume it would show custom values if utilized.

Wouldn't conservatism being set extremely low explain why N2 loading was already past 100% at entry and again at exit?

It just says custom unfortunately. It would be great if that is changed to also give the values.

It will give you the values if you go into the menu to change it but I’ve already wiped that out by setting it back to High.

Hi @Flamebut57

Use the information from @spatty99 and see if you can find the custom GFs that were on your wife's computer.

I'm not familiar with Garmin, only Shearwater. I use the Shearwater Cloud on my android phone and on my PC. Though formatted differently all, or nearly all, information is on both. Does Garman also have a PC/MAC version in addition to android/iOS?

Edit: I see you tried looking up the GF settings, very disappointing

Indeed. I find it quite surprising that the custom GF settings are not captured in the log. If that is indeed true, that is completely unacceptable. The custom settings that correspond to each dive should absolutely be recorded in the log. Pretty basic stuff.

They definitely should update to include specific GF settings.

My Teric, and I would imagine other Shearwater computers, shows the GFs for each dive in the onboard log, as well as in the SW Cloud.

It is hard to imagine that the Garmin computers do no give the GFs for the dive, either in the onboard log or in download. Perhaps someone very familiar can help us

Perdix AI, Perdix 2 & Peregrine do as well.

So this is what I see in the log on the Garmin Dive app.
