So ... I went into the System Setup mode and found where I can change it from Nitrox to Guage or something else or Air and I changed it to Air. At that point it is permanently set at 21% and I no longer have a menu to change my gas from air to nitrox! So if I want to be able to change my gas from air to nitrox without going into System Setup, I guess I leave it on Nitrox so I still have access to the Gas menu. It will stay on Nitrox, even when diving 21%.
I'm finding out some interesting things along the way. I appreciate all the input and help.
Oceanic has 4 levels of conservatism. From most liberal to most conservative, DSAT, PZ+, DSAT with conservatism, PZ+ with conservatism. DSAT with conservatism would be much more conservative than 40/85, something more like a GF high of 75. I assume he was diving DSAT.R was showing 5 minutes NDL and he was diving DSAT. I think conservatism was on, but I'll have to double check.
Thanks!
Perhaps on the lower end basic RGBM computers which no doubt have some head room for beginners built itThe algorithm Suunto uses tends to get more conservative as the dive count racks up. Especially if the surface interval may have been less than Suunto wishes
No response, and I keep forgetting to follow up.I highly doubt this answers your question, but I noticed that your firmware version is v81; Peregrine is now at v84.
Any response from Shearwater yet?
No problema! Let me know how the upgrade goes. When I recently received my Peregrine I got an "Upgrade Failed" message. I believe it was because my computer was already on v84. Shearwater's response was to wait until v85 and try again.Thanks for the heads up re the firmware. I’ll take a look at installing it
Unless I missed something, I don't see that there is much for shearwater to say since their equipment appears to be working as expected based on the people that have plugged the approximate dive profile into subsurface. Seems like it would be more interesting to ask the other dive computer manufacturers how they calculate their NDL since most don't actually tell you.No response, and I keep forgetting to follow up.
