Scubapro CHROMIS Basics

[joedogs21]

Hi All,

I just purchased a scubapro chromis and have now read the entire manual twice. However, some things are still not clear.

To start a dive, do I need to press any buttons, or do I just put it in "SCUBA" mode and then get in the water and start descending, and it will log the dive automatically?

I am a new diver, so doing nothing too advance (air only).

The manual is confusing about the most basic uses.

I am hoping a fellow Chromis owner or other knowledgeable person may be able to explain to me some bare minimum basics (ie how to go on a dive using only air and make sure it is logged). I know this is a very basic question and I tried to search for it already but only found more specific questions regarding the Chromis. Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Hi Mate,

I have a chromis and find it great simple to use computer (other people may have different opinions).

No need to put it in any mode. Simply set the desired settings before you dive. (it will use the settings from the previous dives so if you only ever dive air it is set and forget) Thou as a safety measure i always check the settings before i dive.

Once in the water the chromis will detect you are in water and switch to dive mode when you are descending.

If you have more specific questions feel free to shoot me a private message and ill do my best to answer any questions.

Dive safe

Nath.

The wet contact, at 3:00 will put the Chromis into dive mode when you jump in the water. If you have turned the wet contact off, (to conserve battery life), you can manually put the computer into dive mode by moving the cursor to the dive menu.
