WARNING: Prior to diving with the Versa Pro, you must also read and understand the Oceanic Dive Computer Safety and Reference Manual which provides Important Warnings and Safety Recommendations as well as general product information.
INTRODUCTION Welcome to Oceanic and thank you for choosing the Versa Pro ! It is extremely important that you read this Operating Manual in sequence and understand it completely before attempting to use the Versa Pro. It is equally important that you read the Oceanic Dive Computer Safety and Reference Manual provided with your Versa Pro. It contains information that you must become familiar with prior to diving with your Versa Pro.
BAR GRAPHS Tissue Loading Bar Graph (TLBG) The Tissue Loading Bar Graph (Fig. 2a) represents tissue loading of nitrogen, showing your relative no decompression or decompression status. As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, segments will add to the Graph, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the Bar Graph will begin to recede, indicating that additional no decompression time is allowed for multilevel diving.

ALPHA / NUMERIC DISPLAYS Each numeric and graphic display represents a unique piece of information. It is imperative that you understand the formats, ranges, and values of the information represented to avoid any possible misunderstanding that could result in error. Depth Displays During a dive, the Current Depth display (Fig. 4a), indicates depths from 0 to 330 feet (99.9 meters) in 1 foot (.1 meter) increments.
b a Fig. 5 - Time Displays Time and Date Displays Time displays are shown in hour:minute format (i.e., 1:16 represents 1 hour and 16 minutes, not 116 minutes!). The colon that separates hours and minutes blinks once per second when the display is indicating real time (e.g., Elapsed Dive Time), and is solid (non-blinking) when times are calculated projections (e.g., Time to Fly). The Main Time display is located in the lower portion of the display (Fig. 5a) and a second time display (Fig.
Temperature Display Ambient Temperature is displayed in the center/left portion of the screen (Fig. 7a) while in the Surface Mode and Log Mode, and can be viewed as part of an Alternate Display when the Advance (Front) button is pressed while in a dive mode. If the Temperature exceeds a value of '99', two dashes ( - - ) will be displayed on the screen until the unit's temperature decreases to '99'.
Situations that will sound the Alarm, if it is turned ON (a user setting), include • Entry into Decompression Mode • PO2 => than the Max PO2 Alarm (a user setting), or => 1.60 ATA. • Descent deeper than the Max Depth Alarm (a user setting). • Nitrogen Bar Graph Alarm (a user setting). • Dive Time Remaining Alarm (a use setting). • Elapsed Dive Time Alarm (a use setting). • O2 Accumulation => allowable per dive limit, or limit for a 24 hour period.
BACKLIGHT To activate the Backlight - press the Select (Side) button. • On the surface, the Smart Glo® feature senses the intensity of natural light present. If a low level of light is present, the Backlight will activate and illuminate the display for 5 seconds, or the Duration time (a user setting). • During a dive, the Oceanglo® feature will activate the Backlight and the display will be illuminated for 5 seconds, or the Duration time set (a user setting).
Low Battery Condition Voltage level is checked upon activation and every 10 minutes during operation. • When the unit estimates that 75 % of the Rated Power has been consumed, the lower bar of the Battery Indicator (only segment) will be displayed, and the outline of the Indicator will flash once per second as a warning that the battery is to be replaced prior to conducting any further dives.
FO2 MODE After Activation, the Versa Pro will operate as an Air computer without displaying information associated with oxygen calculations, unless it is set for a percentage of oxygen (FO2) other than Air (a numerical value between 21 and 50 %). When set with an FO2 value of 'Air' (Fig. 10), the Versa Pro will perform calculations the same as if FO2 were set for 21% oxygen, internally accounting for oxygen loading for any subsequent Nitrox dives.
FO2 50% Default If the Default is set to ON (Fig. 12) and FO2 is set to a value 'greater than 21%', the FO2 set point value will automatically revert to 50% 10 minutes after that dive. The Maximum Depth that can be achieved with a PO2 of 1.60 ATA will also be displayed. Fig.
WARNING: Prior to diving with the Versa Pro, you must also read and understand the Oceanic Dive Computer Safety and Reference Manual which provides Important Warnings and Safety Recommendations as well as general product information.
ACTIVATION WARNING: If the unit is activated at elevations higher than 14,000 feet (4,267 meters), it will perform a diagnostic check and immediately shutdown. To Activate the Versa Pro press and release the Advance (Front) Button. Fig. 14 - Diagnostic Mode Fig. 15 - Serial Number 20 • Upon manual activation, the unit will enter Diagnostic Mode (Fig. 14), displaying all segments of the LCD as 8's, followed by dashes (- -), then a countdown from 9 to 0.
Backup Activation (only if Water Activation is set ON) As a backup, the Versa Pro will also automatically activate by water contact. This is accomplished by bridging the gap between contacts located on the Button stems and back of the case. The graphic H2O that will be displayed as an indication is described later. If no dive is made within 2 hours after initial activation, the unit will automatically deactivate. If the wet contacts are still bridged, the unit will reactivate and display the H2O graphic.

PRE DIVE PLANNING SEQUENCETM Oceanic strongly recommends that you review the Pre Dive Planning Sequence (PDPS) prior to every dive to help you plan your dive as required to avoid exceeding no decompression or oxygen exposure limits.
To access the Pre Dive Planning Sequence (while in the Surface mode) • Press the Advance (Front) button 1 time • Press and release the Select (Side) button to advance through the depths/times, one screen at a time. • Press the Advance (Front) button to access Fly Mode. • The unit will revert to Surface Mode after 2 minutes if no button is pressed.
NOTE: The Versa Pro will store oxygen accumulation calculations for up to 10 dives conducted during a 24 hour period. If the maximum limit for oxygen loading has been exceeded for that day (24 hour period), all of the segments of the O2 bar graph will be displayed flashing . Depth/Time values will not appear until the O2 bar graph recedes into the green (normal) zone (i.e., your daily oxygen dosage decreases an amount equivalent to the amount accumulated during the latest dive completed).
OXYGEN ACCUMULATION BAR GRAPH (Fig. 43a) If FO2 was set for a numerical value (nitrox), the Oxygen Accumulation (O2) Bar Graph will add segments (green toward red) to represent oxygen accumulation for that dive, or 24 hour period, whichever amount is greater. VARIABLE ASCENT RATE INDICATOR (Fig. 44a) The Variable Ascent Rate Indicator (VARI) shows how fast you are ascending.
CONTROL OF DISPLAYS During No Decompression conditions, various displays of information (up to 4) are available. Each provides Depth, Dive Time Remaining, and additional information. The intent of this feature is to provide the diver control of how much information is on display at any given time during the dive. The diver can change from one display to another as often as desired by pressing the Advance (Front) button, otherwise it does not change.
No Decompression Dive Mode - Display #1 (Fig. 45) Information includes Current Depth, Dive Time Remaining (and Mode icon), and the applicable bar graphs. • Press and release the Advance (Front) button to view Display #2. No Decompression Dive Mode - Display #2 (Fig. 46) Fig. 45 - No Deco #1 Information includes Current Depth, Maximum Depth for that dive (and icon), Elapsed Dive Time (and icon), Dive Time Remaining (and Mode icon), and the applicable bar graphs.
No Decompression Dive Mode - Display #4 (Fig. 48) Information includes - Current Depth, current value of PO2 (if a nitrox dive) and PO2 graphic, Dive Time Remaining (and Mode icon), and applicable bar graphs. • press the Advance (Front) button to view Display #1. No Decompression Dive Mode - SAFETY STOP (Fig. 49) Fig.
DECOMPRESSION DIVE MODE The Versa Pro is designed to help you by providing a representation of how close you are to entering decompression. Decompression Dive Mode (Fig. 50) activates when theoretical No Decompression time/depth limits are exceeded. Upon entering Decompression Mode, the Audible Alarm will sound and the red LED Warning Indicator (and icon) will flash for 30 seconds (unless set OFF), or until acknowledged.
Managing Decompression Stops To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe controlled ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the Required Ceiling Stop Depth indicated (Fig. 51a) and decompress for the Stop Time indicated (Fig. 51b). The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is dependent on depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper you are. You should stay slightly deeper (Fig.
Decompression Dive Mode - Display #2 (Fig. 52) Information includes - Current Depth, Maximum Depth for that dive (and icon), Elapsed Dive Time (and icon), Total Ascent Time (and Mode icon), both Arrows and the Deco Bar, and the applicable bar graphs. • Press and release the Advance (Front) button again to view Display #3. Fig. 52 - Deco #2 Decompression Dive Mode - Display #3 (Fig.
VIOLATION MODES While in Violation Modes the Alternate Displays previously described can be accessed using the Advance (Front) button, and the Backlight can be activated using the Select (Side) button. • The Versa Pro will automatically revert to the Main Display after 3 seconds unless the Advance (Front) button is pressed to view another display of information. b a NOTE: Upon entry into Violation Modes, the Audible Alarm will emit a 30 second continuous tone followed by a 5 second steady beep.
Unless set OFF (a user setting), the Audible Alarm will emit a continuous tone for 30 seconds or until acknowledged by pressing the Advance (Front) button. If you descend below the required decompression ceiling before 5 minutes have elapsed, the Versa Pro will continue to function in Decompression Dive Mode. In this case, no offgassing credit will be given, and for each minute above the ceiling 11/2 minutes of Penalty Time will be added to Required Stop Time.
Delayed Violation Mode #1 (Fig. 56) If you remain above the Required Ceiling Stop Depth for 'more than 5 minutes', the Tissue Loading Bar Graph and Total Ascent Time will flash until you descend below the Required Stop Depth. This is a continuation of a Conditional Violation. Delayed Violation Mode #2 (Fig. 57) Fig.
Delayed Violation Mode #3 (Fig. 58) If you descend deeper than 330 feet (99.9 meters), the Tissue Loading Bar Graph segments will flash, and the Current Depth and Max Depth displays will only indicate 3 dashes ( - - -). Upon ascending above 330 feet (99.9 meters), the Current Depth display will be restored, however Max Depth will only display 3 dashes for the remainder of that dive. The Log for that dive will display 3 dashes as the Max Depth achieved. Fig.
• Press the Advance (Front) button to view Temperature and Time of Day. • Press the Select (Side) button to activate the Backlight. The Versa Pro will also enter an Immediate Violation Mode 5 minutes after reaching the surface from a dive in which a Delayed Violation occurred. On the surface, Gauge Mode displays the Dive Number, Temperature, Time of Day, and Surface Interval (Fig. 60). It does not provide the FO2, PDPS, or Time to Fly and Desaturate features.
HIGH PO2 DIVE MODE When partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) becomes equal to, or greater than, 1.40 ATA, or 0.2 ATA less than the PO2 Alarm set point (a user setting); the red LED warning will flash, the Audible Alarm will sound (unless set OFF), and the current PO2 value, PO2 symbol, O2 segment of the O2 Bar Graph, and UP Arrow will appear on the Main Display as a warning until PO2 decreases. Current Depth and Dive Time Remaining will also be displayed (Fig. 61).
HIGH OXYGEN ACCUMULATION The O2 Bar Graph displays either oxygen accumulated during that nitrox dive, or during the repetitive nitrox dives you conduct during that 24 hour period, whichever of the two is greater at that time. The yellow Caution Zone of the O2 Bar Graph offers you a convenient way to consistently monitor how close you are coming to the limits of oxygen exposure. Use it as a visual reference to place a wider margin of protection between you and the Limits.
USER SET DIGITAL GAUGE MODE When Digital Gauge Mode is set for ON, the Versa Pro will operate as a Digital Depth Gauge/Timer without performing nitrogen and oxygen calculations (Fig. 64). While in this mode, the range of the Current and Maximum Depth displays are extended to 399 feet (120 meters) to accommodate activities involving diving with advanced breathing gas mixtures or free diving beyond the normal depth limit of the unit. Time of Day and Elapsed Dive Time will also be displayed.
WARNING: Reset after a dive and subsequent use for a repetitive dive conducted by the same diver could result in serious injury to or death. Fig. 65 - User Set Gauge Mode 60 RESET FEATURE This dive computer is configured with a RESET feature that allows data to be cleared, including Nitrogen and Oxygen calculations, FO2 set point, Log Mode entries, and Downloadable data.

Rinse with fresh water, and allow to dry overnight, or blow dry with a hair dryer (set at 'no heat').
Battery Hatch and Hatch Ring Installation • Replace the Hatch O-ring with a new one. This O-ring must be a genuine Oceanic part that can be purchased from an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. Use of any other Oring will void the warranty. • Lightly lubricate the new Hatch O-ring with silicone grease and place it on the inner rim of the Battery Hatch. Ensure that it is evenly seated. • Slide the Hatch Ring, top portion first (small opening), onto your thumb (Fig. 94).
NOTE: If available, an adjustable face spanner tool or pair of pointed pliers can be used by placing the tips in the small holes of the Ring (Fig. 97). Inspection • Activate the unit and watch carefully as it performs a full diagnostic and battery check, and enters Surface Mode. Observe the LCD display to ensure it is consistently clear and sharp in contrast throughout the screen.
ALTITUDE COMPENSATION Atmospheric pressure decreases as Altitude increases above sea level. Weather systems and ambient temperature also affect barometric pressures. Consequently, depth reading instruments that do not compensate for the decrease in ambient pressure indicate depth readings shallower than the depth they are actually at. The Versa Pro automatically compensates for decreased ambient pressures for Altitudes between 2,000 (610 meters) and 14,000 feet (4,267 meters).
