A friend of mine just bought one and have a question as it is unclear in the manual. The manual stated that the dept gauge range is 0-99m. On one page there is a message that it should not be used to dive below 40m. There is no maximum depth specification anywhere in the manual. I am not sure if the 40m is the actual rated depth for the computer or Uwatec just does not recommend diving below 40m as the Sport Plus is for leisure dive only. Thanks for any info.

actually,,, the more I think about it,, 40m is pretty deep,,, unless you have your heart set on some wreck,,, I would imagine you would be using ean,,, you wouldn't get much bottom time(not to mention gettin' narced) without ean,, but ask some of these people that are more experienced,, they'll know better than I,,, I'm just a ow,, doing aow now,, and our deep dive is gonna be way shy of 40m,,, more like 30m(90ft if if I'm converting correctly)
take care,

I doubt that I will get down to 40m (about 130 ft) or deeper often, especially on regular air but there are a few dive sites that I go that I might do a quick drop to around 130 ft and do multilevel dive at shallower dept during the rest of time.
I wonder about the issue because the last thing I want to do at 130 is to wonder if my computer will be ok?

I think that one of the beauties of a computer is that it gives you credit for only "dropping down" to depth for only a short time,, poss. allowing you a little more room on repete dives,, I'm sure you'll be ok,,,, use ur tables too,, you'll be all set

The computer is rated to 99m.
The 40m recommendation is a safety recommendation for recreational dives.
