Dive computer-dumb question

[scubadada]

Okay, so with the Oceanic, we have the same 10 minute setting. Am I understanding you correctly, though, that if we dive a normal dive, the surface with for example, a 5 minute surface swim, and never descend again, the end pressure will be based solely on that moment we surfaced, regardless of the surface swim? But if we descended a second time within the 10 minutes, the end pressure would reflect the second time we surface?

That’s how your log looks to me. (I haven’t looked at ours on a computer in a very long time.) Sounds like he’ll be glad to hear he is right. I guess it’s a good idea to let it happen every once in a while.

That’s correct. Once on the surface, any gas consumed on the swim won’t be counted when the dive is logged, provided you don’t go deep enough to be still diving. If you do, then it’s all counted and the end pressure from the next time you surface is logged.

Yes, Yes
