If you set the SDC App in Scuba Dive Computer mode, then your smartphone becomes an advanced recreational dive computer.
In addition to all the features available in Gauge mode, now SDC includes some specific features available in advanced recreational dive computers.
While in Scuba Dive Computer mode, the App has several sub-modes:
Before you can use SDC in the Scuba Dive Computer mode you need to pair your smartphone with a Smart Dive Buddy sensor (or you can use the sensor simulator). Check this post to see how to pair the sensor.
Combo sub-mode
While in Combo sub-mode, the SDC App behaves as a dive camera with an integrated advanced recreational dive computer.
Similar to the Gauge mode, in Combo mode while taking pictures / shooting videos you will be able to see your current depth, water temperature and dive time.
Also, any picture taken during the dive will automatically be associated to the log of that dive.
In addition to the Gauge mode, in Combo mode SDC includes additional indicators such as Dive Time Remaining, Nitrogen Loading and Ascent Rate.
Additionally, the function of button 2 is different; now, if you hold button 2 SDC enters the Compass sub-mode.
Lastly, while in Combo sub-mode, the SDC App displays warning or alarms related to the specific situation.
