( ). The computer is preset on SF0, with no safety factor.
WARNING: it is strongly recommended to choose and
set the most conservative safety factor any time you are
aware of any risk of decompression sickness.
• The maximum depth alarm (picture 6a-6b) is preset as
default on 132 ft. and OFF; it is possible to switch on the
alarm (ON) and vary the depth at which it will start, by selec-
ting the related functions with button C ( ) and
setting the chosen value with button D ( ).
At the end of the setting, depress button B ( ) for
some seconds, to return to the normal display (picture 1).

While on the surface, it is possible to go to the (PLAN) function
in order to visualize the remaining time available at different
depths, without having to make decompression stops (curve
time), only by the set mixture.
The values are given both for the first dive of a (possible)
series and during a surface interval between two or more
subsequent dives; in such case, takes into account the
residual nitrogen, therefore reducing the curve times.
When the computer is set on DIVE , program, by depressing
button ( ) you get to the (PLAN), function, as shown on
the bottom of the display. The display will show (picture 7a,
air; picture 7b, Nitrox) no decompression depths times
between 30 and 157 ft., in depth increments of 10 ft. obtained
by depressing button C ( ), or by manual depth
decreases - each of 10 ft. - by depressing button D ( ).
Depress button A ( ) for some seconds in order to get
back to the normal display (picture 1).
NOTE: PLAN function is switched off in GAGE and FAEE pro-
grams and if the computer shows Error.

2.5. - GAGE (or depth gauge/timer) program para-
meters setting
Cressi-sub computer is equipped with a GAGE (or depth
gauge/timer) program, intended for all those divers who want
to use the instrument as a depth gauge and timer. In such
case, supplies the dive basic parameters, that is depth
and dive time, it may engage a timer function, but it does not
make any computation of tissues saturation and de-satura-
tion, that must be planned and computed by means of proper
software and/or tables.
By the way, la Cressi-sub reminds you that sport dives must be
carried out within the no-decompression guidelines and at the
maximum depth of 132 ft.. This is the limit of sport diving: to
exceed such limits increase the risk of decompression sickness.
