DANGER This dive computer is capable of calculating
decompression stops based on best guess algorithms. Diving with
decompression stops greatly increases the risks of scuba diving.
Always aim to stay well within no decompression stop limits.
WARNING Technology will fail. Always use backup instruments
and dive tables when diving with a dive computer. The dive
computer does not remove the risk of decompression sickness.
Consult a doctor before diving to determine your diving fitness.
WARNING Check your dive computer at regular intervals while
diving. In case of any problem or signs of malfunction, immediately
abort the dive, follow emergency procedures provided by your
training agency and return safely to the surface.
WARNING Never share a dive computer with other divers when
diving and while the dive computer is calculating your dive profile.
WARNING Do not fly while the NO FLY countdown is active on
your dive computer. Always check your dive computer before
diving.
TECHNOLOGY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRAINING. SCUBA DIVING
INVOLVES HIGH RISKS AND NO TECHNOLOGY WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, AND PRACTICED PROCEDURES ARE THE BEST
WAYS TO KEEP YOU SAFE WHILE DIVING.

Turn S1 on by pressing the left button. When in surface
mode, S1 displays the current time and date, maximum
depth, dive time and elapsed surface interval time since
last dive, if applicable.
If there are less then 24 hours since your last dive, a yellow
NO FLY countdown is visible to indicate when it’s safe to
board an airplane.
SETTINGS
S1’s settings can be accessed when in surface mode. Press
the left side button to enter the settings menu.
• To move forward in the settings menu, PRE SS the left button.
• To select a menu option, PRESS the right button.
• To exit the settings menu, HOLD the left button.
Some settings like buddy ping name and syncing of time &
date and unit system are available only in the Oceans app
when connected wirelessly.
S1 is operated by the two buttons on each side of the device, as indicated
by the function hints on the top section of the display. Options marked
PRESS is activated by a single press, and HOLD by pressing the button for
~0.5 seconds.

BUDDY PAIRING
Oceans S1 Supersonic enables diver–to–diver communi-
cation via ultrasonic pings underwater. You can add one or
multiple S1s to your buddy list.
1.Make sure your buddy’s S1 is turned on.
2.On your S1, navigate to SETTINGS >BUDDY PING >
NEARBY BUDDIES.
3.Select your buddy’s S1 in the list and press ADD .
Note: Apnea diving have consequences for the computer algorithm and
will disable scuba dive modes for 24 hours after last logged apnea dive.
Apnea mode can’t be activated within 24 hours of last logged scuba dive.
APNEA
In APNEA (freediving) mode, S1 acts as a bottom timer to
record descents and ascents into the logbook. Press the
right button to START logging. To STOP, press right button
again.
Each apnea session will be stored in a single log entry in
the logbook. If you want separate logs, exit apnea mode
between each dive by HOLDING the left button. Apnea mode
will exit automatically after some time of inactivity.

For information on using buddy ping in dive mode, see the
BUDDY PING section under DIVING.

ALTITUDE
When diving at high altitudes, select the nearest ALTITUDE
value corresponding to your current elevation above sea
level. When activated, an icon is displayed in surface mode.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Compass CALIBRATION can be needed when accuracy is
reduced over time, the surrounding magnetic environment
changes or when S1’s silicone cover is replaced. Follow
these steps to perform a full compass calibration:
1.Rotate S1 180° in multiple dimensions for at least 10 seconds.
2.Hold the device still in 6 different orientations for 1 second each.
3.Position S1 facing upwards on a flat surface for 5 seconds.
Repeat step 1–3 until the progress bar is filled and a CALIBRATION
COMPLETE message is displayed on S1.
ADJUSTMENTS
The ADJUSTMENTS menu lets you set personal preferences
and adjust how S1 and its algorithm works.
SAFETY FACTOR
The SAFETY FACTOR setting uses built-in gradient factors to
determines the level of conservativeness of the computer
algorithm and adds a safety factor to the dive.
• NORMAL — Default value
• CONSERVATIVE — Adds a conservative safety factor
• MORE CONSERV. — Adds a very conservative safety factor
Note: Changing the safety factor will affect the NO DECO limit. Adjusting
to a more conservative setting can result in shorter dive time before
decompression stops are required.
PPO2
The partial pressure of oxygen adjustment determines the
level of PPO2reached before showing a warning to ascend
to a shallower depth. A value over 1.6 is considered toxic.
• 1.4 — Default value
• 1.2 — More conservative
• 1.0 — Very conservative
UNITS
The UNIT setting lets you set the preferred unit system for
S1. By default, the unit system is synced between S1 and
the Oceans app.
• METRIC (Meters and degree Celsius )
• IMPERIAL (Feet and degrees Fahrenheit)
Note: When calibrating, stay away from metallic objects or electronic
devices as they may interfere with the magnetic field. Always keep
the silicone cover on when calibrating. Be aware that metallic objects
underwater will interfere with the compass, e.g shipwrecks.

In case of lost connection between S1 and the Oceans app,
select the CONNECTION option to display the onboarding
screen and connect the device again as described in
”CONNECTING” on page 4.
COMPASS
To display the compass view in surface mode, select the
COMPASS option. For more information on operating the
compass, see “COMPASS VIEW” on page 11.
TIME & DATE
By default, time and date are automatically synced when
connected to the Oceans app. To manually set time and
date, select the TIME & DATE option and use S1’s buttons to
edit the values as described by the function hints on the top
section of the display.
ABOUT
The about option displays S1’s device ID, firmware version
number and Bluetooth firmware version.
VIBRATION
The VIBRATION setting adjusts the power of the haptic
feedback engine used for alerts and warnings while diving.
• HIGH
• MEDIUM (Default value)
• LOW
DISPLAY
When diving in darkness or to safe battery life, display
brightness can be adjusted in 3 levels: 100% (default), 50%

BUDDY PING
Oceans S1 Supersonic is equipped with 4 ultrasonic
sensors to allow 360° underwater communication with
other S1 devices. S1 can be paired and receive pings from
up to 8 other buddies.
DIVING
In dive mode, S1 will keep you updated on status, alerts
and warnings on the display and via haptic feedback during
your dive.
BEFORE THE DIVE
Always turn S1 on by pressing the left side button to check
your settings before diving.
• To switch between Air, Nitrox and Apnea mode, navigate to
SETTINGS >DIVE MODE and select the correct one.
• To change PPO2, altitude and gradient factor settings, navigate
to SETTINGS >ADJUSTMENTS.
DURING THE DIVE
S1 will automatically start dive mode after the depth sensor
reaches 2m (6ft), even when off. Turn S1 is on before
descending to start dive mode immediately at 2m (6tf).

• When receiving a ping from a paired buddy, a message is
displayed in the lower notification area of the display together
with a vibration feedback.
Buddy ping works at a distance of 20m/65ft or more
depending on conditions. The range is limited when diving
in caves, shipwrecks or where the signal is restricted by
other objects.
Buddy pings will be recorded in your logbook and visualized
by a white dot on the depth profile.

If diving past the NO DECO limit, you will be notified by a
vibration warning, and the deco stop CEILING depth and
COUNTDOWN in minutes will be displayed. Start ascending
towards the CEILING depth and stay until the deco stop
COUNTDOWN disappears.
When the countdown has ended, it’s safe to ascend to the
next CEILING depth or start ascending to the surface if no
more deco stops are required.
While in deco stop, never go above the CEILING depth. Animated arrows
will guide you to the right depth.
Note: While ascending to a shallower depth, the deco stop may disappear
if S1 calculates that a safe level has been reached.
SAFETY STOP
When ascending above 6m (20ft), S1 will display a
recommended 3 minute safety stop COUNTDOWN. Arrows
will guide you to the right depth.
