of breathing gas consumption. The Dive Time Remaining display will indicate

the time that is more critical for you at that particular moment (i.e.; whichever

time is the least amount available of the three). The time being displayed is

identified by the No Decompression Dive Time icon, or Gas Time Remaining

icon displayed to the left of the numeric display, or the O2 symbol displayed to

the right of the numeric display (Fig. 12).

Knowing that you have 45 minutes of no decompression time remaining is not

as critical as knowing that you only have 40 minutes of breathing gas time re-

maining. Or, knowing that you have 40 minutes of breathing gas time remain-

ing is not as critical as knowing that you only have 35 minutes of oxygen accu-

mulation time remaining. The DataTrans Plus presents the dive time remain-

ing that is considered to be of primary importance. This unique feature of se-

lect Oceanic dive computers has been granted U.S. Patent No. 4,586,136.

Breathing Gas Time Remaining

Breathing Gas Time Remaining will appear as the numeric Dive Time Remain-

ing display (Fig. 13) only when it is less than No Decompression Time Remain-

ing and Oxygen Accumulation Time Remaining. Breathing Gas Time Remain-

ing of 60 minutes, or less, will be displayed continuously as the Gas Time Re-

maining Bar Graph (Fig. 13a) regardless of which time is being displayed as

the numeric Dive Time Remaining. The bar graph represents only Breathing

Gas Time information and it will be the only indication of breathing gas time
