Just got my VT Pro, it has a feature called Turn Pressure alarm. What exactly does this thing tell you? BTW, anyway I can increase the volume on the alarm?

Turn pressure is the pressure (in psi or bar) at which you choose to end your dive.

divnamite:
Turn Pressure Alarm may be set for instance at 1500 psi, a reminder to head back to your exit point.

"End" Pressure Alarm is used to programming your ending pressure.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say it is the pressure at which you stop swimming away from the entry/exit point and begin your return to the entry/exit point? For example, start a dive from a moored boat with 3000psi, swim away from the boat until you reach, say 1800psi, then turn and start swimming back to the boat. (Yes, I know it's not the rule of thirds, but I'm assuming a simple, easy boat dive, and it's just an example.)

Why would anybody trust a computer to tell them when to turn a dive on gas pressure?
ianr33:
What makes that use any different than using it for dictating the profile?
ianr33:
I have never once used the mod edit power to change anything anyone has posted in the Oceanic section. Turn it into a DIR thing on trusting a computer and I will.
