The GURU has many other functions:

GAUGE function, useful above all for people who take technical dives; FREE function for freedives, as well as numerous

outdoors and tness functions, making the GURU ideal for use

even when you're not diving.

Check www.seacsub.com for any updates to this manual.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

GENERAL WARNINGS

m WARNING!

Read the user manual fully before using the SEAC computer. Using the computer incorrectly will void the warranty and can permanently damage the computer.

m WARNING!

Only use the dive computer after you have read all sections of the instruction manual and you have understood how it works.

m WARNING!

The dive computer is not a substitute for diver training and should only be used by divers who have been properly trained and who have earned the appropriate license issued by a Certified Teaching Association.

m WARNING!

The SEAC computer is an auxiliary device during a dive. Therefore, it is crucial that each diver always carry with them a suitable table that will enable them to conduct the decompression phase if the unit should malfunction.

m WARNING!

The computer does not replace an understanding of decompression tables, which divers must always carry with them for safety, along with a depth gauge and a dive watch.

5

English

m WARNING!

Freediving entails the risk of syncope, taravana, pulmonary edema, and hemoptysis, while diving with scuba equipment entails the risk of decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity, and other risks generally related to diving: even careful reading of this manual and correct use of the instrument does not exclude potential dangers.

Anyone unfamiliar with these risks or who does not knowingly accept them must not dive with a SEAC computer.

m WARNING!

Underwater diving entails certain risks that can never be completely eliminated, either while freediving or diving with scuba equipment. No freediving computer can guarantee that there will be no risk of syncope, taravana, pulmonary edema, or hemoptysis, and in the case of diving with scuba equipment, no computer or dive table can guarantee that there is no risk of decompression sickness or oxygen toxicity to the central nervous system, even if the diver follows the indications from the computer or the table diligently and correctly.

m WARNING!

The computer cannot take into account individual physiological changes that can change from one day to the next. For this reason it's good practice to use the device conservatively and cautiously, remaining within the limits shown by the computer in order to minimize the risks.

m WARNING!

Two divers may not share a single computer while diving. Each diver must have their own device on their wrist to provide information and store data exclusively for the wearer.

m WARNING!

Do not dive with a computer that does not have records of recent previous dives, since its calculations cannot account for data that it has not stored.

m WARNING!

For safety reasons, it is NOT possible to set FREE mode as the main mode unless 12 hours have elapsed since the most recent SCUBA or GAUGE dive.

m WARNING!

It is strictly forbidden to freedive in the 12 hours after diving with scuba equipment! Breaking this rule could increase the risk of decompression sickness!

WARNINGS

• This computer is NOT intended for professional use! It is intended exclusively for recreational use.

• Any use that does not comply with the above could expose the diver to an increased risk of decompression sickness. Therefore it is not recommended for use in professional or commercial dives.

• Check the battery status before every dive. Do NOT dive with the battery at 30% or lower. Check that the display shows no signs of malfunction and that it is clearly legible.

• Always check that the settings are correct for your dive, and never allow anyone else to tamper with the computer before the dive. If anyone else handles your computer, check that the settings are correct.

• It is important to keep in mind that our bodies undergo changes, even daily changes, that a computer cannot account for. If your physical condition is not excellent, or if you feel any physical problems, do not dive!

• It is important to avoid all behaviors that increase the risks associated with decompression sickness, such as rapid

6

English

ascents, yo-yo dives, skipping mandatory decompression stops, dives with surface intervals that are too close together, and any other behavior that goes against common sense or your training.

• In any event, the instrument may not be used without

sufcient preparation earned through specic training.

Failure to observe the basic rules of scuba diving exposes to the diver to life-threatening risk.

We recommend dives within the safety curve in order to reduce the risks associated with decompression sickness.

• We recommend dives of no deeper than 40 meters, or depending on the percentage of oxygen in the tank, ppO

2

max 1.4 BAR. Exposure to higher values puts the diver's life in danger.

• Abide by the ascent rate recommended by the computer. Excessive ascent speeds put the diver's life at risk.

• The computer calculates the total ascent time, but this could be longer than the time shown depending on certain parameters that the computer calculates throughout the dive. Trying to ascend at the correct speed and abiding by the depths of the stops shown will help respect this duration.

• Always respect the NO FLY time: absolutely do not board an airplane if the NO FLY icon is still shown on the display. Remember to plan your last dive in the series keeping in mind the recommendations provided by DAN (Divers Alert Network).

• Even if you abide by all the intervals dictated by hyperbaric medicine, the occurrence of decompression sickness on board a plane cannot be excluded after dives.

Dives with Nitrox mixtures.

When setting the gas fraction in the tank, the computer will

only accept whole numbers, so in the case of a veried gas

fraction of 32.8, the next lower whole number must be set, and thus 32 in this case.

Do not round up to the next higher number because this would underestimate the nitrogen calculations.

• Check the ppO

2

max setting, and never exceed 1.4 BAR.

• NEVER DIVE without rst checking the contents of the tanks

with instruments that have been declared reliable.

• Check that the gas set on the computer corresponds to what is in the tank you'll be diving with.

• Dives with Nitrox-Trimix-CCR require specic training. Do

NOT dive without the appropriate training.

• Exceeding the maximum recommended ppO

2

limit set dictates an ascent to lower levels, and in the case of a CNS (Central Nervous System) value approaching the limit, reduced exposure to oxygen is recommended.

• Only use the dive computer after you have read all sections of the instruction manual and you have understood how it works. If you have any doubts or questions, contact your instructor or dealer before you dive.

7

English

Before the dive

• It is crucial to understand that every diver is completely responsible for their own safety.

• Dives using gas mixtures entail risks other than those associated with dives using standard air. Adequate training is necessary in order to learn to understand and avoid these risks, which are not immediately obvious. These risks include serious injury or death.

Limits of dive computers

The computer reects the most up-to-date guidelines on

dive safety, but it must be stressed that the studies should be considered theoretical. Their aim is to reduce risk, but they cannot prevent the possibility of contracting illnesses associated with underwater activities: decompression sickness when scuba diving, and syncope/taravana/hemoptysis when freediving.

Care and maintenance

• Keep your computer clean and dry. Do not expose the computer to chemical agents, including alcohol.

Use only fresh water to clean your computer, removing all

saline deposits. Leave the computer to dry naturally; do not use jets of hot or cold air.

• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight or sources of heat higher than 50°C. Store the computer in a cool (5°C-25°C) and dry place.

• Do not place the computer in a hyperbaric chamber.

The computer is designed for reading precision of +/- 2% (European standards require precision levels of +/- 3.5%).

European standards require that the unit be checked periodically to monitor the precision of its depth and time readings.

• The warranty will be forfeited if the computer is opened by an unauthorized service center.

• The GURU computer is built to withstand use in sea water, but after the dive it must be rinsed thoroughly in fresh water and not exposed directly to sunlight or sources of heat to dry it.

• Check that there are no traces of humidity on the inside of the display.

• Do not attempt to open, modify, or repair the computer yourself. Always contact an Authorized Center or SEAC directly.

Recharging the battery

GURU has a rechargeable Li-ion battery with no memory effect. The burn-time data provided may vary up to +/-15% depending on ambient temperature, device settings, applications installed, version of the operating system, backlight settings, and usage.

m WARNING!

Always fully charge the battery before using the computer the first time.

Charge the battery by connecting GURU to a USB wall charger (not included) using the USB cable provided.

We recommend using a USB wall plug (like those for smartphones/tablets) for charging GURU.

If you decided to use a USB port on a computer, make sure that the computer does not suspend power when it switches to stand-by mode. Charging GURU from a computer is not recommended because the device might not charge fully.

Even if GURU's next-generation battery has no memory effect, we still recommend charging the battery completely.

Average charging time is 3-5 hours depending on the residual charge level.

m WARNING!

Never dive if the computer shows a charge of 30% or less.

When you connect the USB charging cable, within 45 seconds the <= charging symbol will appear on the watch screen. Charging is complete when the battery symbol disappears from the watch screen and sleep mode activates.

Once the battery has charged, even if the device is left connected to electrical power, GURU automatically interrupts

the ow of power. If you leave the computer charging longer than necessary (e.g., overnight), you may nd it has switched

to sleep mode.

You can check the charge % of your GURU by pressing any button on the watch screen.

If the charge cycle doesn't nish, the battery indicator might not

be exact until the next full charge.

After installing an app or updating the operating system, we recommend that you run a full charging cycle.

m WARNING!

Don't leave the GURU with a fully dead battery for a long time (e.g. 3 months); this can damage the battery. GURU will record an alarm if it is left uncharged for long periods, and this eventuality is not covered by the guarantee.

11

English

Dives in especially cold water (<3 °C)

GURU can also be used for dives in especially cold water (<3 °C). However, exposure to especially low temperatures can negatively affect the voltage remaining in the battery, decreasing the computer's burn-time.

If you dive in especially cold water, the battery voltage can run out much faster than normal. Therefore it's always a good idea to recharge the battery before diving in extreme conditions.

m WARNING!

In the case of dives in especially cold water (<3°C), recharge the computer to 100% or ensure that you have at least a 50% charge.

m WARNING!

Dives in especially cold water (<3°C) require specific training.

DIVE SET 1 (Dive settings 1)

The DIVE SET 1 Menu displays the rst part of the GURU dive settings.

WATER: (SALT/FRESH): Select the water type (SALT/FRESH).

NOTE

Dive computers measure pressure and convert it to depth using water density as a constant. Without the WATER adjustment, a depth of 10 m in salt water is detected as 10.3 m in fresh water. Without the SALT/ FRESH setting, the depth reading could be distorted.

UNITS: Select the unit of measure you want to use:

m/°C = meters and degrees Celsius (date format dd/mm/yy). ft/°F = feet and degrees Fahrenheit (date format mm/dd/yy).

MODE: Set the preferred dive type that GURU will activate upon entering the water.

m WARNING!

Always check that the dive type matches the dive actually being taken.

SCUBA: GURU begins a dive in scuba mode with tanks. GAUGE: GURU begins a dive in gauge mode with tanks. FREE: GURU begins a dive in freedive mode.

NOTE

If you should wish to use a different mode without changing the MODE parameter, you can enter the desired mode by pressing the D button from the watch screen and taking a dive deeper than 2 m. This way, GURU will activate the mode that you selected without changing the MODE value for that one dive.

m WARNING!

For safety reasons, it is NOT possible to set FREE mode as the main mode unless 12 hours have elapsed since the most recent SCUBA or GAUGE dive. GURU automatically resets SCUBA mode if you attempt to force an exit with the main mode set to FREE.

P.SAFE: Level of conservativism (OC = Open Circuit Dive).

The GURU (in OC mode) uses the Bühlmann ZHL- 16B algorithm for the decompression calculation.

The GURU's conservatism can be changed among preset levels from 0 to 5. The levels correspond to the following values:

Bühlmann ZHL-16 B (gradients) GFL/GFH 0 = 93/93 1 = 90/90 standard conservatism 2 = 80/80 3 = 75/75 4 = 30/90 max linear conservatism 5 = 20/89

NOTE

Higher conservatism will ensure that the computer will perform calculations more cautiously, decreasing the time that can pass between a given depth without exiting the safety curve (or by extending the decompression time in the case of dives with deco stops). In general it is a good idea to increase the conservatism if you noticed excessive fatigue after your most recent dive. A hyperbaric physician can recommend how to set the conservatism, depending on your clinical status.

DIVE SET 2 (Dive settings 2)

The DIVE SET 2 Menu shows the second part of the GURU dive settings.

S.S. DPT: (Safety Stop Depth) (3-9): Depth at which you want to do your Safety Stop.

S.S. TIME: (Safety Stop Time) (OFF-9): Duration of the Safety Stop in minutes.

Although it is always recommended that you perform a Safety Stop for all dives taken within the no-decompression limits, you can deactivate the Safety Stop by setting the value S.S. Time to OFF).

DEEP STOP (OFF/STD): If enabled, this introduces an additional nonobligatory stop with the Standard method (STD) (half of the maximum depth for 2.5 minutes).

LAST STP: (Last Stop) (1-10): Depth at which you wish to take the last decompression stop (only if the dive is outside the no-deco limit and requires deco stops).

DECO CTRL: (ON/OFF): If enabled (ON), GURU will not permit any new

dives in the 12 hours following a dive in which any signicant deco violations

occurred. Disabling (OFF) the DECO CTRL is not recommended, and will be permanently recorded in the GURU Logbook.

m WARNING!

The Safety Stop is considered a NON obligatory stop to be taken during dives within the no-deco limits. Violating the Safety Stop does not entail decompression penalties for subsequent dives and is not considered a “deco violation”. Therefore, DO NOT disable the DECO CTRL if you intend to skip the Safety Stop.

m WARNING!

The Safety Stop is omitted automatically if the decompression profile falls outside the no-decompression limits. Even if any decompression that may have been accumulated is cleared before the safety stop depth, the dive is still not considered to be within the no-deco limits, and thus GURU will not offer the Safety Stop.

MIX

The MIX Menu shows the mix settings that will be used during the dive.

Two Mixes are available, with Oxygen percentages from 21 to 99%

m WARNING!

Changing these settings requires special training on the use of enriched breathing mixes. If you have not received this training, do not dive with enriched breathing mixes! Do not dive using breathing mixes other than those set in your diving computer. Using mixes other than those set makes it impossible to calculate the decompression correctly!

MIX: (21-99): Indicates the oxygen % in the mix inside the tank.

PPO

2

: (Oxygen partial pressure) (1.20 - 1.60): Indicates the maximum ppO2

with which you intend to use the mix.

MOD: Maximum operating depth for the mix currently created.

The MOD is recalculated automatically every time the MIX, or ppO

2

value, is

modied. The MOD cannot be changed manually.

During the dive, an auditory alarm will be activated upon reaching the MOD depth.

2

value, is modied. The

MOD cannot be changed manually.

During the dive, an auditory alarm will be activated upon reaching the MOD depth.

DECO: Indicates whether or not the mix should be used during the dive.

If set to YES the device considers the change of mix at the depth indicated by the MOD when calculating the decompression. If set to NO the Mix is disabled.

m WARNING!

MIX1 is always the starting mix.

The GURU automatically proposes a Gas change as soon as a gas that is more suitable for decompression can be used considering the mix MOD, regardless of the mix numbering.

(See the section in this manual dedicated to the gas change during the dive.)

The GURU always offers the best available mix, during both the descent and the ascent.

If you want to use the bottom gas during the descent as well, ignore the gas change suggestion. The GURU will automatically adapt its decompression calculations without requiring any intervention from the diver, and without any penalty to the deco phase.

PLANNER (deco planner)

GURU integrates a complete planner for square prole dives.

m WARNING!

In order to change the dive parameters, set up the computer the way you want it in the DIVE SET menu and the MIX menu. GURU will simulate the dive using the current settings.

For DEPTH, Time and Evaluate refer to “No-Deco Planner” (previous page).

If the dive is NOT within no-decompression limits (deco stops called for): DPT: Depth of the decompression stop in meters (in feet if Imperial units

are set).

DT: Stop time, expressed in minutes. RT: Time elapsed from the beginning of the dive to the deco stop. MIX: Mix used during the deco stop.

m WARNING!

In addition to the deco stops, the final value shown will always be the information about the end of the bottom time (in the example at left, 35 | 25 | 25 | 21/0).

m WARNING!

Press B and D to scroll through the pages if there are more than 3 deco stops.

m WARNING!

The planner assumes 18 m/min as the descent rate and 9 m/min for ascent rate in decompression calculations.

m WARNING!

The Planner function does not run the “validation” of the profile, that is, it does not take into account a possible excess of CNS, limitations on the volumetric availability of the mixes, a possible isobaric counterdiffusion due to a change of mixes or the MOD of a mix used.

Adequate training is necessary in order to best plan a technical dive. Consult your instructor or your training agency if you have any questions about planning.

For graphic formatting reasons for the Planner, the maximum DT displayed is 99 minutes. If an individual decompression stop turns out to be longer than 99 minutes, it will be shown in the planner as “99”. During the dive however, the stop will be shown with the time displayed in full (e.g. 120 min).

ALARM (Open Circuit Alarms)

The ALARM Menu allows you to enable (YES) or disable (NO) GURU's auditory alarms in open circuit mode.

m WARNING!

Except for special situations, we do not recommend disabling auditory alarms. We recommend leaving all values set to YES.

ASC SPEED: (YES/NO): Alarm that signals an excessive ascent rate.

MAX DEPTH: (YES/NO): Alarm that signals that the MOD has been

exceeded (depth beyond which you should not proceed, based on the ppO

2

of the breathing mix in use).

DECO VIOL: (YES/NO): Alarm that signals a violation of the mandatory decompression stop.

(The Safety Stops and Deep Stops are not considered mandatory decompression stops. Violating Safety Stops or Deep Stops does not activate the alarm).

TIME: Alarm that signals that the dive time set has been exceeded (in minutes).

DEPTH: Alarm that signals that the depth set has been exceeded (in meters or feet - see the DIVE SET menu).

The Compass

In order to access the compass screen, press the B button. The compass is also available during the dive.

m WARNING!

If the “CALIBRATE” message appears, or if the compass is not fluid or functioning correctly, the compass needs to be calibrated. To calibrate the compass, refer to the COMPASS section of this manual.

The GURU compass has a resolution of 1° and an accuracy of +/- 1°. The tilt is compensated automatically up to 85°. After rotating your arm, it may

take a few seconds for the compass to nd the correct alignment again.

To set the route, press the D button.

While navigating, GURU considers the direction to be “on route” if the desired route diverges no more than 5° from the direction set.

To exit the compass, press the B button twice.

(Direction in degrees highlighted in black): Direction on route (+/-5° with respect to the value set with D).

Weather Forecast

The weather forecast is based on monitoring atmospheric pressure in the previous 18 hours using the built-in barometer. For a reliable weather forecast, no changes in elevation should be made. Otherwise the change in atmospheric pressure due to the change in altitude could introduce inaccuracies into the weather forecast.

m WARNING!

After the dive, because of humidity in the sensor area, the pressure actually read could be lower than the true pressure, which could compromise the correct weather forecast.

After an altitude change of approx. 50 m, the weather forecast will be reliable again after a period ranging from 3 to 5 hours.

Altimeter, Barometer, Thermometer

Altimeter: (In the center, expressed in meters or feet) Indicates the altitude above sea level.

The value of the height above sea level is calculated based on atmospheric pressure.

m WARNING!

The accuracy of the altitude measurement depends directly on the atmospheric pressure and humidity present in the sensor location. Therefore, in the event of bad weather, or after a dive, the error could be as much as +/-80m.

Thermometer: (At lower left, expressed in °C or °F): Indicates the temperature of the GURU case.

The temperature measured by GURU is the temperature of the watch case itself. Therefore, when worn on your wrist it will measure a temperature higher than the outside temperature. To measure the ambient temperature, remove the watch from your wrist and wait at least 5-6 minutes. The temperature reading will be accurate in the water after 3-4 minutes.

Barometer: (At lower right, expressed in millibars) Indicates the atmospheric pressure (the pressure present at any point in earth's atmosphere).

The barometer reading is used to automatically adapt the decompression calculation for dives at altitude. Therefore it isn't necessary to enter the dive altitude in the settings (which the calculator would use to calculate a hypothetical atmospheric pressure to use in adapting the decompression calculation), because GURU automatically detects the true barometric pressure regardless of the altitude.

Force the Mix Change During the Dive

During the dive you can change the mix even if the GURU has not recommended it. The GURU automatically updates the decompression calculation.

m WARNING!

You can also force the MIX change, even beyond the MOD of the MIX itself. A suitable theoretical basis is required to force the MIX. Do NOT force the MIX if it's not necessary.

During the dive, press the C button to access the gas change menu.

Press D to select the Mix you want from those that are active during the dive. (It's not possible to select a mix that was not enabled before the dive; if there are no other mixes enabled, the current value won't be changed.)

Press the C button to select EXIT and press the D button to conrm.

m WARNING!

To reduce the risk of accidental Mix changes, you must always select EXIT and press D to confirm the gas change. When 60 seconds pass and no button is pressed, the GURU will switch back to the dive screen without making any gas change.

m WARNING!

The following information is only available and viewable if the Guru is connected wirelessly to a SEAC Transmitter, which can be purchased separately.

The lower right part of the GURU screen will display the BAR value (PSI if Imperial units of measure are set). The BAR value indicates the pressure remaining in the tank.

The BAR value will be displayed about 30 seconds after the Transmitter is switched on. The BAR value is updated every 5 seconds.

If data transmission is interrupted, or is unstable for more than 1 minute, the BAR value will be hidden (“---”). The BAR value will be restored as soon as communications are stable again for at least 1 minute.

English

RBT and TANK RESERVE

The RBT value (Remaining Bottom Time) is shown in the lower part of the GURU screen.

The RBT value is calculated based on the current breathing rate. The GURU may need from 2-5 minutes of diving in order to acquire

sufcient data to calculate the RBT. Until a reliable RBT value is available, the RBT value is not displayed (“---”). The RBT value differs

from person to person, even at the same depth and tank pressure.

RBT during a no-decompression dive

If the dive remains within the no-decompression limits, the RBT value indicates the anticipated time remaining - given the current depth and breathing rate - before the tank reaches reserve pressure (TANK RES, which can be set from the TRANSMITTER menu).

E.g. (If TANK RES. = 30 in the TRANSMITTER menu)

In a no-decompression dive, the RBT value will be “0” when there is 30 BAR of pressure left in the tank.

The TANK RES. value can be changed from GURU's TRANSMITTER menu. The minimum value of TANK RES. is 10 BAR and the maximum is 50 BAR.

m WARNING!

The RBT is a purely mathematic-statistical value based on the information acquired by the Transmitter. It cannot in any way anticipate behaviors that increase gas consumption such as overbreathing or similar. It must be used solely and exclusively as a generic statistical indication. It cannot in any way replace proper dive planning or an awareness of your own physical and mental faculties. Do not use the RBT value to extend the dive beyond the value established during planning. If you have any questions about how to correctly program a dive, contact your instructor.

49

English

RBT in a DECO dive

If anticipated mandatory deco stops are expected (warning, Safety Stops and Deep Stops are not considered mandatory safety stops) the RBT value indicates the remaining bottom time expected, given the current depth and breathing rate, so that

once the mandatory deco stops are complete, the tank pressure will reach the reserve pressure (TANK RES, which can be set from the TRANSMITTER menu).

E.g. (If TANK RES. = 30 in the TRANSMITTER menu and dive with DECO stops)

In a DECO dive, the RBT value will be “0” when there is sufcient pressure left in the tank so that, if the ascent begins immediately

and the correct speed and mandatory deco stops are respected (the Deep Stop is not considered a mandatory stop), there will be

30 BAR of pressure remaining once the nal deco stop is complete.

The TANK RES. value can be. changed from the TRANSMITTER menu. The minimum value of TANK RES. is 10 BAR and the maximum is 50 BAR.

m WARNING!

The RBT is a purely mathematic-statistical value based on the information acquired by the Transmitter. It cannot in any way anticipate behaviors that increase gas consumption such as overbreathing or similar. It must be used solely and exclusively as a generic statistical indication. It cannot in any way replace proper dive planning or an awareness of your own physical and mental faculties. Do not use the RBT value to extend the dive beyond the value established during planning. If you have any questions about how to correctly program a dive, contact your instructor.

GURU AFTER THE DIVE

No-Fly

After every dive using scuba equipment (open circuit or gauge), some precautions must be taken before boarding an airplane or exposing yourself to any kind of changes in atmospheric pressure.

For single dives that did not require mandatory deco stops, wait a minimum interval of 12 hours on the surface.

In the event of multiple dives in a single day, or multiple consecutive days with dives, wait a minimum interval of 18 hours.

For dives that required mandatory deco stops, wait a minimum interval of 24 hours.

m WARNING!

These instructions can change on the basis of new studies and research. It's possible that this information may have become obsolete when you read this manual. Always refer to your training or a hyperbaric doctor about the minimum interval before exposing yourself to changes in pressure.

After every dive in OC or GAUGE mode, GURU shows the NO FLY warning on the watch screen.

m WARNINGS!

In GAUGE mode, no y time is always 24 hours.

After a dive in OC or GAUGE mode, the FREE function cannot be activated for the following 12 hours.

(Used largely to establish the occurrence of certain religious festivals).

MAGMETER (Magnetometer)

The GURU can detect the electromagnetic elds emitted by certain types of

metal (“ferromagnetic”) (Stainless steel and gold are not ferromagnetic; iron is). The magnetometer is calibrated automatically when calibrating the compass.

The current density of the magnetic eld is shown in uT (microTeslas).

The GURU activates the acoustic alarm if the current value detected is 5uT higher or 5uT lower than the reference value (shown in the bottom right corner).

You can set the reference value by pressing the D (+1uT) and C (-1uT) buttons. The scale of the diagram is set automatically. You can also use the Magnetometer during the dive. The magnetometer works better in the water, since it is not disturbed by the

electromagnetic elds present in the air.

The magnetometer inserted in the GURU cannot be considered to be a professional-level, absolutely precise instrument.
