Display information
Upon immersion, the water contacts will
automatically activate Galileo, unless they
have been turned off. In this case, you
must activate the computer manually
before starting the dive. See section 2.8.6
for more information.
At a depth of 0.8m/3ft, Galileo starts to
monitor depth and time and also to perform
decompression calculations.
Details on the information displayed can be
found in the next sections.
3.3.1 Description of entries
This section complements the information
listed in the Glossary by adding specific
details about Galileo's screen while diving.
The dive time is displayed as dive time
in minutes. If during the dive you ascend to
the surface, the time spent on the surface
will only be counted if you descend again
below 0.8m/3ft within 5 minutes. This
allows for brief periods of orientation.
While on the surface, the time will not
show as progressing but it is running in the
background. As soon as you submerge,
the time will resume, including the time
spent on the surface.
