Diving
Dive Warnings
WARNING
•The diving features of this
device are for use by
certified divers only. This
device should not be used
as a sole dive computer.
Failure to input the
appropriate dive-related
information into the device
can lead to serious
personal injury or death.
• Make sure that you fully
understand the use,
displays, and limitations of
your device. If you have
questions about this
manual or the device,
always resolve any
discrepancies or confusion
before diving with the
device. Always remember
that you are responsible
for your own safety.
•There is always a risk of
decompression sickness
(DCS) for any dive profile
even if you follow the dive
plan provided by the dive
tables or a diving device.
No procedure, diving
device, or dive table will
eliminate the possibility of
DCS or oxygen toxicity. An
8 Quick Start Manual
EN

individual's physiological
make up can vary from day
to day. This device cannot
account for these
variations. You are
strongly advised to remain
well within the limits
provided by this device to
minimize the risk of DCS.
You should consult a
physician regarding your
fitness before diving.
•Perform pre-dive safety
checks, such as checking
proper device function and
settings, display function,
battery level, tank
pressure, and bubble
checks to check hoses for
leaks.
• Do not dive with a gas if
you have not personally
verified its contents and
input the analyzed value to
the device. Failure to verify
tank contents and input the
appropriate gas values to
the device will result in
incorrect dive planning
information and could
result in serious injury or
death.
• Diving with more than one
gas mixture presents a
much greater risk than
diving with a single gas
mixture. Mistakes related
Quick Start Manual 9
EN

to the use of multiple gas
mixtures may lead to
serious injury or death.
•Always ensure a safe
ascent. A rapid ascent
increases the risk of DCS.
• Disabling the deco lockout
feature on the device can
result in an increased risk
of DCS, which can result in
personal injury or death.
Disable this feature at your
own risk.
• Violating a required
decompression stop may
result in serious injury or
death. Never ascend
above the displayed
decompression stop depth.
• Always perform a safety
stop between 3 and 5
meters (9.8 and 16.4 feet)
for 3 minutes, even if no
decompression stop is
required.
Dive Modes
The Descent™ Mk2s device
supports six dive modes. Each
dive mode has four phases:
dive pre-check, surface
display, in-dive, and post-dive.
Single-Gas: This mode allows
you to dive with a single
gas blend. You can set up
to 11 additional gases as
backup gases.
10 Quick Start Manual
EN

Multi-Gas: This mode allows
you to configure multiple
gas blends and switch
gases during your dive.
You can set the oxygen
content from 5–100%. This
mode supports one bottom
gas, and up to 11
additional gases as
decompression or backup
gases.
NOTE: Backup gases are
not used in no-
decompression limit (NDL)
and time to surface (TTS)
decompression
calculations until you
activate them during a
dive.
CCR: This mode for closed-
circuit rebreather (CCR)
diving allows you to
configure two partial
pressure of oxygen (PO2)
setpoints, closed-circuit
(CC) diluent gases, and
open-circuit (OC)
decompression and
backup gases.
Gauge: This mode allows you
to dive with basic bottom
timer features.
NOTE: After diving in
gauge mode, the device
can only be used in gauge
or apnea mode for 24
hours.
Quick Start Manual 11
EN

Apnea: This mode allows you
to free dive with apnea-
specific dive data. This
mode has a higher data
refresh rate.
Apnea Hunt: This mode is
similar to the Apnea dive
mode, but tuned
specifically for
spearfishers. This mode
displays simplified in-dive
data, and disables start
and stop tones.
Dive Setup
You can customize the dive
settings based on your needs.
Not all settings are applicable
for all dive modes. You can
also edit the settings before
you start a dive.
Hold MENU, and select Dive
Setup.
