Suunto D9 - Deleting Logs

I'm new to the board, can anybody help?

I have just bought a D9 and am wearing it as a watch. This means that I also wear it when I go snorkelling. Unfortunately this means that it logs a dive every time it goes slightly underwater.

It says in the manual that it is meant to start recording a dive when it goes deeper than 1.5 feet. Even without diving down it goes into dive mode on a swimming stroke, my arms are longer than 1.5 Feet!

Two questions:

1) Does anybody know if this can be adjusted so that it only goes into dive mode at over 5 feet?

2) I now have several logs of 1 second dives in the D9. Is it possible to delete these non-dives?

Many thanks.

Hi Mark. You cannot adjust the computer to make it activate deeper than the default. The memory dumps dives in a FIFO manner, each new dive knocking off the oldest dive. There is no way to "delete" dives from the computer. Maybe they will change this on some later release of the Suunto Dive Manager. This is one fault with watch/computer type dive computers. Hope this helps.

Look at my response to your thread in Basic Scuba discussions section.

Cheers.

I believe you can turn off the dive feature and it will not record the dives. This is so you can still have a watch underwater.
