Sidemount Diving

 

The sidemount diving mode is used for diving with more than one sidemount tank.

For sidemount diving with just one tank, open circuit diving mode is the preferred mode.

 

The left tank is the first gas entry in the gas table

The right tank is the second gas entry in the gas table.

The left tank transmitter needs to be paired with the first entry in the gas table.

The right tank transmitter needs to be paired with the second entry in the gas table.

This sample screen shows a depth of 24 m, 18 min dive time. The remaining no decompression limit is 5 min. In this example,  the remaining tank pressure of the left tank is 137 bar and that of the right tank is 123 bar. Both pressure values are also visualized with the left and right bar graph.  

 

 

 

SM_MAIN_02-HUD

 

This sample screen shows a depth of 36.7m and 23 min dive time. The current time to surface is 7 min and the next deco stop is at 6m.

If the difference of the tank pressure between the 2 sidemount tanks is greater than 30 bar, the user will be notified with a popup window.

A popup message will notify the diver of a pressure difference greater than 3 bar between the two side mount tanks.

However, this function is only available, when the fraction of the two gases is the same.
