4.2.1. - Dive Simulator (
Archimede Cressi-sub dive computer is equipped with a dive
simulation (
), program which is useful in order to become
familiar with all dive computer functions. With the simulation
program, you can plan different dives; it is also highly useful for
training.
You enter the program by pressing the M (Mode) button,
repeatedly until the (
) icon is displayed on the UFDS dis-
play (fig. 31).With this program, you can simulate a multilevel
dive by pressing the B (
) button to increase depth, or the A
(
) button to ascend. In this way, you can have a real time
check of what is displayed under different diving conditions,
including all audible and visual alarms. When the simulated dive
is over, the dive computer will provide you with information
about surface interval and desaturation time and you can then
conduct a simulation of the next dive. By pressing the B (
button, you enter the simulation screen for the next dive, with
desaturation under way.
NOTE: Simulation is conducted with dive parameters set
in the (
) function (see chapter 2.3.).
)
NOTE: Simulation speed is 6 times higher than in real life.
In other words, 10 seconds in simulation mode corre-
spond to 1 min. in a real life dive, with depth variations of
0.65ft at a time.

If the dive computer is still recording some residual nitrogen, or
if you are still within desaturation time, Archimede will allow you
to change the surface time interval in order to simulate anoth-
er dive. As already described in the previous chapter, you
enter the simulation program by pressing the M (Mode) but-
ton, repeatedly until the (
display (fig. 32): in this case however the icon will be different
from the previous one, because the dive computer before
)
starting simulation asks you to set a new surface interval time,
by using the icons of the UFDS display: by pressing the B ( )
button, you increase the surface interval time, whereas with
i
the A (
- Enter) button, you confirm the selected value. After
this reset, Archimede automatically enters the simulation
screen again (fig. 31), as described in the previous chapter. In
this way we can simulate the next dive.
