GAGE
(depth gauge/timer) program
Cressi-sub computer is equipped with a GAGE program
(or depth gauge/timer) intended for the divers who wish to
use the instrument for prolonged table dives or decompres-
sion software dives.
Please be advised tha , if in GAGE, program, does not
make any saturation and de-saturation computation, working
only as a basic instrument, supplying depth, dive time,
together with other accessorial data. In this conditions, the
dive must be planned using proper decompression software
and carried out by means of proper tables.
By the way, Cressi-sub reminds you that sport dives must be
carried out within the no decompression guidelines, at the
maximum depth of 132 ft. which is the limit of
sport
dives: to
exceed such limits dramatically increases the risk of decom-
pression sickness!
WARNING: Cressi-sub computer is designed for
sport diving only. It is not intended for commercial or pro-
fessional use, requiring longer dive times and greater
depths. Diving beyond the parameters of sport diving dra-
matically increases the risk of decompression sickness.
DANGER: Cressi-sub strongly discourages dives with
gaseous mixtures other than air without proper training.
On the contrary, the diver may be exposed to risks inclu-
ding serious physical damages and, in extreme cases,
even death.
computer’s "GAGE " dive program automatically starts
the functions of depth gauge/timer at depths deeper than 5
ft, and the display will show the following information
(picture 22):
1 current depth value, in meters (m) or feet (ft). The depth
gauge operative range reaches a depth of 199,9 m (656 ft.)
2 dive time, shown by the "DIVE T" icon, given by the timer
in minutes and seconds.
3 maximum depth reached during the dive, given in meters
(m) or feet (ft), shown by the “MAX” icon
4 segmented ascent rate indicator
5 Maximum depth alarm icon (if ON - see 2.5.1)
6 GAGE computing program icon
7 Timer icon

3.6.1. – Timer function starting
During a GAGE program dive, it is possible to start Timer function,
by depressing button D ( ); in this way a cronograph is
started, whose icon will be starting on the display (picture 23),
as long as it will be on. To stop the timer, you just need to
depress again button D ( ), to look at the time shown by
the timer, you need to keep button A ( ) depressed
and the display will show the following (picture 24):
1 time given in hours, minutes and seconds;
2 maximum depth reached during the dive, given in meters
(m) or feet (ft);
3 current water temperature, given in °C or °F ;
