OK all you GEO 2.0 users...I need a little help. I actually understand the directions for setting up my computer quite well but im getting stuck on one thing. So before I go and purchase the online class thing from oceanic, I was hoping you may be able to shed some light. Ok here goes.
I have set everything up as far as date/time, alarms for both max depth and dive time. I understand how to navigate the computer quite well but im getting stuck on the gases. It allows you to set up two different gases. here are my questions:
1. Should the first gas be set for strictly "air" and the second gas be "nitrox (32%)" since these will be all I use for now OR are these gas settings supposed to be used for other things BUT air and there is some how a default setting for air (making 3 total gases)? I hope that makes sense.
2. The reason I ask the above is I notice it appears you cannot switch gases until you are actually under water. if that is the case, how would I start my computer off in nitrox mode if im making a simple recreational nitrox dive? I will be taking my nitrox course in 2 weeks so this is all new to me but I do understand the concept behind nitrox diving. Thanks!
