Every minute, for me it is a reflex, I also check it automatically whenever I pass what I call a diving waypoint.

Nice way of explaning it. This is what was taught to me, and what I do during my dive. I also count breaths so I am getting to know when my rig should fire.

ie

Stand up, check PPO2,

Jump in, check PPO2,

and so on and so forth.

It detracts in no way from my dive at all, and when I say I check every minute this means I look at my handset(s) every minute, just the primary, after all I have a HUD also, whether I am diving the Meg or the Boris.

I have a duty to my beautiful wife and my beautiful daughter to do so!!

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Not having a clock in my head I ticked the 'whenever I think of it box'.
I'm sorry but that's the best I can do. I've no idea how often it works out at as if I like the numbers I just move on.

In addition to my HUD...

I end up looking at my wrist every 3-4 minutes for Depth... Deco.... PP02 all in the same place. About 50% of the time I glance at my VR-3 the rest of the time I glance at my HH primary..

Dive Safe...
