Shearwater Perdix AI

I download to MacDive and just started using Subsurface toward the end of the season. I'm assuming MacDive still doesn't show tank switches? I know Subsurface does.

Not sure, but have you tried contacting Nick Shore, the developer, or posting in the MacDive forums?

I don't have a Perdix, so my comment could be totally wrong, but just a thought, could the 3m or 5m possibly refer not to the depth, but to the time (3 minutes or 5 minutes)?

You're right. Your comment is totally wrong, BUT it was a very good guess.

The guess is particularly good given the "Adapt" value setting for safety stops. See Nitrox manual section 8.2 page 19:
Safety Stop
The Safety Stop setting can be set to the following values:
• Off
• 3 minutes
• 4 minutes
• 5 minutes
• Adapt
When using the Adapt setting, a 3 minute safety stop will
be used, unless the dive exceeds 100ft (30m) or the NDL
falls below 5 minutes, in which case a 5 minute safety stop
is used.

Thanks everyone for your replies, it was more about me thinking the count down timer not starting when I was at 5m, but if it's going to kick in at 6m then that's great. I'm doing my AOW this weekend so it'll be good to have a play with it.
Cheers Mike

The MacDive forum is where I got that information.

Hi guys,

I'm very new to diving and have just purchased a Perdix AI. I haven't even done a dive with it yet but I have a question/observation. In OC Rec mode the safety stop is set to 3m and I can't change it. I'm PADI trained and we learn to do our stops at 5m so why can't this be adjusted? Or can it and I'm missing something? The only way I can change it is to one of the other modes, and even then the choices are only 3 or 6.
The other thing that bugs me is in Rec mode I can only display the AI info on the bottom line, so as soon as I bring the compass up I can't see it. I guess there's a reason for this but I just think more flexibility with where you can put what would be nice.
Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers Mike

You can keep it in tech mode and when at your safety stop, start timer. That way you can be at depth you want for as long as you want.

Love My Perdix AI. I only use it in Rec mode for now but it is light years better than any other computer I have ever used.
