THE OCEANIC B.U.D. DIVE COMPUTER, DIVE MODE - VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Diving with the Oceanic B.U.D. is very easy. In this video we will take you for a dive with the B.U.D. dive computer, but first we will review its planning capabilities.
While in surface mode, you can access the Oceanic B.U.D. pre-dive planning sequence. This is a tool that allows you to plan the maximum bottom time for your dive based on the expected depth. To access the pre-dive planning sequence from surface mode, hold the button until you see the plan lead-in display.
Press the button to enter the pre-dive planning sequence. Then press the button on the Oceanic B.U.D. Dive Computer to increased the plan depth. When diving air, the pre-dive planning sequence display contains the following information: dive time allowed, plan depth and algorithm selected icon. Hold the button to return to the plan lead-in display.
Okay, enough talking. Time to get wet. We are diving at Ship Rock in Catalina Island, California and our objective for this dive is to explore the wall located southeast of Ship Rock. My buddy is ready. Let's descend.
As soon as you descend deeper than five feet, the Oceanic B.U.D. will enter no-decompression dive mode. Let's now look in detail at the No-Deco main display.
This display contains the following information: dive time remaining, current depth, tissue-loading bar graph, algorithm selected icon, and variable ascent rate indicator. While diving, it is good practice to monitor your dive computer every few minutes.
We are almost at the wall. We reached our target depth. Let's cruise around the wall and look for marine life.
Hmmm. The nitrogen loading bar is almost in the caution zone and we are getting close to our planned bottom time. Let's signal the buddy to head back to the boat and make a safe ascent.
While ascending, it is important to monitor the variable ascent rate indicator. Upon ascending to 20 feet on any no-decompression dive in which the depth exceeded 30 feet, the Oceanic B.U.D. will display the Safety Stops screen.
In this video, we took you for a dive using the Oceanic B.U.D. Dive Computer.
