of Scuba Mode.
Carefully read the entire contents of this user manual and be sure that you fully
understand the purpose, technical functions, settings, risks, and limitations of your
device before diving. Failure to do so might lead to serious injury, harm, sickness or
even death.
If you have any questions about your COSMIQ+Dive Computer, please ask your
COSMIQReseller,speaktoaqualieddiveinstructor,orcontactDeepbluat
[email protected].
2.1 Safely diving with your COSMIQ+
DO NOT use your COSMIQ+ as your primary dive computer if you plan to do a
technical dive (i.e. a dive deeper than 40 m (130 ft) with decompression stops and/or
in any enclosed or challenging environments such as caves, wrecks, ice, high altitude
lakes and/or any sort of penetration using air mixes with oxygen levels outside the
21%—40% range).
DONOTusetheCOSMIQ+forscubadivingifyouarenottrainedorcertiedinthe
appropriate use of scuba equipment and techniques by an internationally accredited
dive agency. Using a dive computer is not a substitute for adequate training.
DONOTusetheCOSMIQ+forfreedivingifyouarenottrainedorcertiedinthe
appropriate freediving techniques.
DO NOT use the COSMIQ+ for diving with nitrox if you have not been trained by a
recognizedcerticationagencyintheappropriateuseofnitrox.
DO NOT ignore alarms and warnings on your COSMIQ+, whether at the surface or
during a dive. Failure to respond appropriately to alarms and warnings may result in
harm, injury, sickness and even death.
DO NOT board a plane when the No-Fly icon is showing. Flying while COSMIQ+
displays the No-Fly symbol may result in serious injury or death.
Using the COSMIQ+ DOES NOT remove the risk of decompression illness.
Decompressionillnessmaystilloccurevenwithadiveprolebasedondivetables
or which is deemed safe by a dive computer. The COSMIQ+ does not consider the

unique biological characteristics of each individual diver, including their physiological
disposition, alcohol consumption, dehydration, or use of medication or other drugs,
all of which may cause a diver to be more susceptible to decompression illness.
Deepblu strongly advises that you consult a doctor before diving to determine your
tnessfordiving.
Using the COSMIQ+ does not replace the need for other instruments. The COSMIQ+
is intended to supplement the use of other instruments, including a depth gauge,
pressure gauge, timer and watch.
DO NOT exchange your COSMIQ+ with others during dives or between two dives in
a series. The information displayed applies only to the diver who has been using it
throughout a dive or series of dives, and the recorded information will therefore not
be accurate for anyone else.
Ensure that your COSMIQ+ works properly before diving. Check the display and
cycle between modes to verify that it is functioning properly. Additionally, make
surethatthereissucientbatterypowertocompleteyourdive.DONOTdiveifthe
computer’s display is not clearly visible, if it is frozen in one mode, or if the battery
power is low.
2.2 Alarms
The COSMIQ+Dive Computer uses a range of visual and audible alarms to warn you
of potentially dangerous situations while diving. It also lets you set custom depth
and time alarms. It is very important to understand the purpose and function of the
alarms so you can take appropriate action and avoid danger.

5. Diving with your COSMIQ+
5.1 Planning a dive
The Dive Plan function helps you plan your next dive within safe limits, based on
previous dives executed with your COSMIQ+. To access it, navigate to Watch Mode
and press the ADJUST button. The letters PLAN appear as well as values for depth
and your corresponding no-decompression limit (NDL).
Press ADJUST repeatedly to cycle the depth between 9 m (30 ft) and 40 m (135 ft).
Your corresponding NDL (in minutes) will be displayed on the bottom-right. Three
dashes (- - -) mean that the NDL exceeds 300 minutes. The Dive Plan function will not
display depths beyond your NDL or beyond the maximum operating depth (MOD).
WhenyouarenishedusingtheDivePlanfunction,presstheMODE button at any
time to switch back to Watch Mode.
5.2 Diving in Scuba Mode
In Scuba Mode, your COSMIQ+will perform decompression calculations and assist
you through any mandatory decompression stops should you accidentally exceed
your no-decompression limit.
5.2.1 Checking and adjusting the settings
Before immersion, your COSMIQ+will display a summary of the settings that govern
the decompression calculations. It is important that you check these carefully before
entering the water as no settings can be changed during a dive. Except for the
oxygen level in your air mix, all settings must be set using the Deepblu app.

Oxygen level
Press the ADJUST button repeatedly to change the oxygen level in your air mix from
21% (standard air) to 40% (nitrox). COSMIQ+will display the corresponding maximum
operating depth at the bottom of the screen.
When done, press MODE to return to Scuba Mode. If you have changed your oxygen
level to anything other than 21%, the Nitrox icon will now light up.
Note that this setting will remain between dives until changed.
Safety factor
The Safety Factor controls the decompression algorithm your COSMIQ+uses
to perform decompression calculations. It allows you to choose a level of
conservativeness based on your personal preference and unique risk factors.
The Safety Factor can only be changed through the Deepblu app, but you can check
the current setting on your COSMIQ+in Scuba Mode. Look for the letters SF: followed
by a two-letter code for the safety factor: Co for Conservative, Nr for Normal, and Pr
for Progressive. The Safety Factor can only be changed through the Deepblu app.
Partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2)
Your COSMIQ+defaults to a PPO2level of 1.4 bar for safety reasons, but this setting
can be adjusted between 1.2 bar and 1.6 bar in intervals of 0.1 bar.
The PPO2setting can only be changed through the Deepblu mobile app, but you can

check the current setting on your COSMIQ+at the top of the Scuba Mode screen after
the letter P.
5.2.2 Entering the water
There are two ways to start a dive in Scuba Mode: water activation and manual
activation.
Water activation: If Scuba Mode is your default dive mode, simply enter the water
when your COSMIQ+is in Standby or Watch Mode. Your COSMIQ+will automatically
activate Scuba Mode once you descend past 1.5 m (5 ft).. You can tell if the current
mode is the default mode when the letters dF show. This setting can be adjusted in
the Deepblu app.
NOTE: Because your COSMIQ+captures data at 15-second intervals in Watch Mode,
there may be a slight delay between descending below 2 m (6 ft) and Scuba Mode
activating. During a dive, however, the sample rate of your COSMIQ+is 1 second.
Manual activation: Manually navigate to Scuba Mode using the MODE button. Your
COSMIQ+will show you an overview of all your dive settings (see section 3 above).
Enter the water and begin your descent while in Scuba Mode.
NOTE: Make sure you reach depth within 3 minutes, before your COSMIQ+jumps
back into Watch Mode. When detecting pressure in Watch Mode, your COSMIQ+will
activate the default dive mode, which may or may not be Scuba Mode.
5.2.3 Information during your dive
Once your COSMIQ+starts logging your dive, it will disable the buttons for the
duration of your dive and display all necessary dive information at once on its bright
always-on display.

5.2.4 After your dive
Upon surfacing from a dive, or when you are shallower than 2 m (6 ft), your COSMIQ+
will remain in Scuba Mode for 5 minutes. If you surface for fewer than 5 minutes and
then descend again, your COSMIQ+will consider this a continuation of the previous
dive and the calculations will continue from where they left off.
After 5 minutes, your COSMIQ+will begin to count the Surface Interval Time. It will be
displayed on the Watch Mode screen and counted upwards in hours and minutes.
Any additional descent will be considered a new dive.
The dive data recorded during each dive is accessible through Log Mode.
No-Dive Time, No-Fly Time and Dynamic Lock
After every dive, the No-Fly icon will be shown in the bottom-right corner of the
display. The No-Fly Time is based on the calculations of your desaturation time
accordingtoyouractualdiveprole.TheNo-FlyTimewillbecounteddownwards
every half hour.
Depending on the estimated level of residual nitrogen in your body, your COSMIQ+
may display a No-Dive Time underneath the No-Dive icon , counted down in half-
hour intervals.
With a conservative or normal safety factor setting, a No-Dive Time of over 1 hour
will lead to a temporary lock(the letters SUF appear on screen). This is to encourage

Scuba Mode will become available again.
5.2.5 Warnings during the dive
Your COSMIQ+will also alert you about potentially dangerous situations with sound
and on-screen warnings.
Safety stop due
For every dive exceeding 10 minutes and deeper than 9 m (30 ft) your COSMIQ+
automatically recommends a 3-minute safety stop.
When a safety stop is due, the STOP indicator lights up and the Countdown Time will
be shown in two locations on the screen: in minutes and seconds underneath the
stop indicator, and in seconds only in the space previously occupied by the NDL time.
The countdown will start and continue while you are within a range of 6–3 m (20–10
ft). If you ascend or descend out of this range, the countdown will pause until you are
within range again.
No-Decompression Limit (NDL) exceeded
Except during a safety stop, the no-decompression time limit (NDL) is shown
in minutes in the top right hand corner of the screen underneath the No Deco
indicator. The no-decompression limit is also represented by a graphic bar on the

To perform your mandatory decompression stop, ascend to the ceiling depth and
stay there until the mandatory stop countdown time has elapsed. Do not ascend
above the ceiling depth until the Stop Countdown Time has elapsed. Once the stop
countdown time is over, it is safe to ascend to the next ceiling depth (if required) or to
the surface.
Note that the Ceiling Depth and Stop Countdown Time values may disappear from
the screen if you ascend soon after exceeding your NDL and your COSMIQ+calculates
that your nitrogen levels have receded back to safe levels. You should still conduct a
