Dear Suunto divers,
I don't own a Suunto but I have downloaded DM5 to play with deco planning module. They recently upgraded DM5 to include RGBM Fused 2 and I find it personally interesting to run different deco profiles to become familiar with the versions of RGBM.
With regards to safety stops, they kick in at 10 meters and deep stops kick in at 20 meters. The safety stop is 3 minutes but if I go into Plan setting and change it to 4 or 5 minutes, the safety stop remains at 3 min in the dive planner. This is either a bug or am I doing something wrong? Or is these safety stop selections (3,4,5) only there to update the computer when you transfer the settings. That's my first question.
My second question is when I plan a deco dive, is the safety stop included in the last stop? For example say your last deco stop is at 3 meters for 10 min. Is 3 of the 10 min your safety stop and 7 min your deco or do you add an additional 3 min to the 10 min deco for a total of 13 min. Specifically, when I plan a deco dive, is the deco profile generated in DM5 only showing the deco obligation and excludes the safety stop?
Here is an example. Dive to 30 meters for 18 min. Suunto RGBM; deep stop off. Safety stop at 3 meters is 3 min. Dive to 30 meters for 19 min (one min more). Deco stop at 3 meters for 3 min. Its exactly the same time at 3 meters as for 18 min but I assume if you disregard these three minutes I you are in violation of the computer where as for 18 min, you could skip the safety stop if desired with no 48 hr lock out penalty. Is it assumed you will conduct another 3 min safety stop?
Say you do an actual dive to 30 meters for 19 min and you deco for the required 3 min. Does your Sunnto computer then recommend a safety stop? If I had a Suunto, I could dive it and discover the answer. but because I don't so I'm asking you who do. Thanks for your feedback.
