New VR3 User has Question

blackvet · 22nd July 2007, 21:32

I just started using a new VR3 (CCR) and have a dumb question...here goes...

In the upper left corner of the display I see my depth, to the right of it I see total time of dive...where is the total non-deco bottom time at depth displayed?

Can't see it anywhere...Did I set it up wrong? My gut was to go with a Buddy but all my dive buds convinced me to go VR3...

Thanks!

Hi Blackvet,

The non stop time is shown directly below the Depth and Time.

If you go to the menu and select simulator you can try dive the unit and see the no stop time change to Deco stops.

Also, in addition to the No Stop Time feature (NST) you will see a very useful Time To Surface (TTS) number in the bottom-right area of your display (shown TTS 1min in Barrie's photo). TTS will account for a 30ft/min ascent rate so if you are at 60ft and TTS is 2min then you know you are not in deco yet. From personal experience I suggest you stick by your new VR3 and you will love it soon. It's a good computer. Hope this helps.
