I've used a Suunto Mosquito computer for 10 dives now. It's my first computer. I've become familiar with it, but I have a question about the Diver Attention Symbol.
That's the small exclamation point to the left of the main display. The manual says, "The Diver Attention Symbol is an advice to extend surface interval. Some types of diving...add a higher risk of DCI. When this is detected,...the Diver Attention Symbol is shown."
That's simple enough. If I surface, and the Diver Attention Symbol appears, I shouldn't dive again until the symbol disappears. My question is, how do I know how much time is left until it disappears? The manual says nothing about this, and there's no countdown timer on the computer itself.
It would be nice if there was a countdown timer. I could tell me buddy, "I came up too fast. I have to wait another x minutes before I go back in." That sounds better than, "I came up too fast. I have to wait until the symbol disappears."
Any advice?
