Perdix question

[Ghost Diver #]

Hi perdix users,
Is there a way to set it up so it asks me to do at least a 3 min safety stop while in OC tec mode? I did a dive today in that setting and didn’t go into deco and noticed it never asked. Doesn’t really matter as I’ll do one anyway but was just wondering.

For reference I went to 80 feet for 10 mins then 50 feet for 30 mins. It was a dive to get back in drysuit diving with thick thermals before doing some more tec dives this weekend.

Thanks

No, no automatic safety stop in Tec mode. You can start a timer, if you want, when and at whatever depth you want.

Ok thanks a lot!

nope (on the models I have: Petrel1 & Pedrix AI), just in Rec mode......

Teric has this feature, it really should be available on Perdix etc. Maybe it will come in a firmware upgrade.

Dive it on rec mode for rec diving and tech mode for tech diving?

If you need "hand holding", put it in "hand holding" mode...

A safety stop is an extra measure of caution at the end of a recreational dive. There is nothing magical about 3 minutes. It's not like you will get bent if you ascend after only 2:55. On a typical recreational dive, I am rarely alone. When I get to safety stop depth, I glance at the computer to see what the dive time is and than watch the others stare at their computers waiting for the exact second that they hit 3 minutes and can safely go to the surface. When everyone else is ready to ascend, I go up with them. If I am for some reason far out of synch with their ascents, I glance at the dive time again and ascend when I see a number there that satisfies me. It will usually be more than 3 minutes, but the exact time is not important to me.

I don’t need hand holding, and the reason it’s in tec mode is I’m preparing for a weekend of tec diving and I’m training like I intend to dive. I do not need the computer to tell me to do a safety stop and don’t think it’s needed in tec mode. I can handle that with my computer between my ears...it was simply a question out of curiosity.

Thanks for the advice! Happy diving

I use the1 minute rule at 15-12-9-6-3-2-1 metres. There's no computer that does that. If my buddy requires a safety stop, I wil stop with him. No problem.
