Read And Understand This Manual
Thoroughly Before Using the INSIGHT.
INSIGHT
The following symbols are used throughout this manual to bring your attention to situations that require
special consideration. Be sure to read and follow all instructions carefully.
A WARNING is used before a procedure that will result in serious injury or death if the
procedure is not followed carefully.
A CAUTION is used before a maintenance technique that will result in damage to parts if
that technique is not followed carefully.
N
Throughout this owner's manual reference is made to the term 'breathing gas'. The rationale being that the INSIGHT can be
used for Air dives or Nitrox dives. For clarity, these terms are defined as -
Breathing Gas - the gaseous mixture breathed during a dive.
Air - a breathing gas that contains approximately 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen (nature's common nitrogen-oxygen mixture).
Nitrox - a nitrogen-oxygen breathing gas that contains a higher fraction of oxygen (22 to 50%) than air.
A NOTE is used to emphasize an important maintenance technique.
3
WARNINGS:
• The INSIGHT is intended for use by recreational divers who have successfully completed a
nationally recognized course in scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen
(nitrox) breathing gas mixtures.
• It is intended only for no decompression diving, NOT intentional decompression diving.
• It must not be used by untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks
and hazards of scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) mixtures.
• You must obtain scuba certification, and certification in diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen
mixtures (nitrox) before using the INSIGHT if you have not already done so.
• It is NOT for use by military and commercial divers.
• It should NOT be utilized for any competitive, or repetitive square wave or decompression
diving, as it is intended solely for recreational use and no decompression multilevel diving.
• As with all underwater life support equipment, improper use or misuse of this product can
cause serious injury or death.
• Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive computer.
• Conduct your dives in such a manner so as to insure that you continuously check the
computer's proper function.
• Read and understand this owner’s manual completely before diving with the INSIGHT.
• If you do not fully understand how to use this dive computer, or if you have any questions, you
should seek instruction in its use from your Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer before you
utilize this product.

DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the INSIGHT simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to
apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The INSIGHT dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments
in decompression theory. Still, using the INSIGHT, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding
decompression sickness (i.e., the bends). Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how
your body will react to a particular dive profile.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your recent purchase of the Sherwood INSIGHT dive computer!
Your new INSIGHT uses a unique and intuitive display that represents the information you need before, during, and after the
dive, laid out in a logical format based on a dive profile diagram. Information is located where you would expect it to be.
In addition to no-decompression/decompression status, tissue loading of nitrogen, accumulation of oxygen, and ascent rate are
presented as peripheral bar graphs alongside reference indicators.
As you progress through this instruction manual, you will become familiar with the unique functions and features available. A
symbol legend is provided on the last page of this section for your convenience.
The INSIGHT's wide array of features are described in detail throughout the pages that follow.
The initial time that you invest becoming acquainted with the symbols and various operating modes and displays will be returned as you enjoy your underwater activities with the comfort that your familiarization affords.
As you use the INSIGHT, remember that the rules you learned in your SCUBA course(s) still apply to the diving you will do
while using a dive computer - some will become even more important. Technology is no substitute for common sense, and a
dive computer only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.
12
FEATURES AND DISPLAYS
The INSIGHT has two Control Buttons that allow you to activate the unit and access specific information when you choose to see it. The Left button (Fig. 1a) is referred to as the A (Advance) and the
Right button (Fig. 1b) as the S (Select).
While on the surface, you can use the buttons to maneuver through the Insight's unique Menu System
that allows -
• selection of 3 Main Operating Modes (Air, Nitrox, or Gauge)
• viewing of various information displays (Last Dive, Plan Depths/Times, Dive Logs, History,
etc.)
• entering of settings divided into 4 convenient categories (Basics, Alarms, Utilities, and Time)
• activation of the Backlight
• operation of an onboard Simulator
• setup for a PC interface program
During the Dive modes, the buttons may be used to -
• activate the display's Backlight
• view Alternate displays of information
• acknowledge Alarms
INSIGHT
The INSIGHT uses easy to understand alpha/numeric displays and graphic icons (Fig. 2). It is imperative that you understand the formats, ranges, and values of the information presented by the
INSIGHT's numeric and graphic displays to avoid any possible misunderstanding that could result in
an error.

BAR GRAPHS
N2/O2 (Nitrogen/Oxygen) Bar Graph
The INSIGHT features a shared Bar Graph that represents either Nitrogen loading identified by the N2
icon (Fig. 2a), or when accessed, Oxygen accumulation identified by the O2 icon (Fig. 3a). By default, the Bar Graph is referred to as the Nitrogen Bar Graph (N2BG), and represents your relative no
S
decompression or decompression status.
As your Depth and Dive Time increase, segments will add to the N2BG, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the segments will begin to recede, indicating that additional no deco time is allowed.
The N2BG monitors 12 different nitrogen compartments simultaneously and displays the one that is in
control of your dive. It consists of 5 segments, the lower 4 represent No Decompression status and the
fifth at the top indicates a Decompression condition.
When the INSIGHT is set to operate in Nitrox mode, the Bar Graph will represent Oxygen accumulation when the O2 data screen (Alternate Display) is accessed temporarily. The O2 icon (Fig. 26a) will
appear as an indication.
Regardless of which parameter the Bar Graph is representing at the time, nitrogen and oxygen calculations will continue to be performed in the background.
S
Ascent Rate Bar Graph (ASC)
The ASC (Fig. 4a) provides a visual representation of Ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer), 'normal' rate, a 'cautionary' rate, and 'Too Fast'. The segments of the ASC represent 2 sets of speeds
which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M). Refer to the chart at the right for segment values.
INSIGHT
a
WARNING: At depths greater than 60 FT (18 M), Ascent Rates should not
exceed 60 FPM (18 MPM). At depths of 60 FT (18 M) and shallower, Ascent
Rates should not exceed 30 FPM (9 MPM).

INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS
Each numeric and graphic display represents a unique piece of information. It is imperative
that you understand the formats, ranges, and values of the information represented to avoid any
possible misunderstanding that could result in error.
Depth Displays
During dives, the Current Depth is displayed (Fig. 5a) from 0 to 330 FT (99.9 M) in 1 FT (.1 M) increments. The Max Depth reached during that dive will also be displayed (Fig. 5b).
• When the unit is set to operate as a Digital Depth Gauge/Timer (referred to as Gauge Mode), the
Depth Display range is 'extended' to 399 FT (120 M).
• At depths greater than 99.9 M, it will indicate metric values in increments of 1 M.
Time and Date Displays
Time displays are shown in hour:minute format (i.e., 1:09 represents 1 hour and 9 minutes, not 109
b
minutes!). The colon that separates hours and minutes blinks once per second when the display is indicating real time (e.g., Dive Time), and is solid (not blinking) when times are calculated projections
(e.g., Time to Fly).
Primary times such as Time of Day (Fig. 6a) are configured with larger digits, while secondary times
such as Surface Interval (Fig. 6b) are smaller.
Date (Fig. 6c) is only displayed during select surface modes such as the TIME screen.
Temperature and Altitude Displays
Temperature (Fig. 7A_a) and Altitude (Fig. 7A_b) can be viewed on a Data Display, which can be
accessed while viewing the TIME screen while on the surface.
Temperature can be viewed on an Alternate Display (Fig. 7B_a) which can be accessed during dives.
NOTE: The Informational Displays are described in detail as the various
N
operating modes they appear in are presented throughout this manual.
AUDIBLE ALARM
When Reminder Alarm situations activate the Alarm, the unit will emit a quick double beep each second for 10 seconds, or until the situation is corrected, or it is acknowledged by pressing the S (Right)
button.
INSIGHT

When Cautionary Alarm situations activate the Alarm, the beep will be on for 1/2 second then off 1/2
second, repeating for 10 seconds, or until the situation is corrected, or it is acknowledged by pressing
the S (Right) button.
Some Alarms cannot be acknowledged. These are differentiated by 1 beep per second for 10 seconds
followed by a full 3 second beep.
If an Alarm is acknowledged and the situation corrected, the Alarm will sound again if the situation
occurs again, or another Alarm situation occurs.
a
A
S

A single short beep is emitted after the Diagnostic check, upon automatic return to Surface Mode from Simulator Mode, upon
completion of a battery change with calculations/settings saved, or upon change from Delayed to Full Violation after that dive.
In the event that another Alarm situation occurs, any scrolling message will be displayed until it is acknowledged, at which
time it will be replaced by a message that was previously scrolling.
Reminder Alarm situations include -
• PO2 equal to or greater than 1.60 ATA, or the Max PO2 Alarm setting.
• Descent deeper than the Max Depth Alarm setting.
• Dive Time Remaining decreases to the Alarm setting.
Cautionary Alarm situations include -
• Entry into Decompression Mode
• O2 Accumulation equal to or greater than allowable per dive limit, or limit for a 24 hour period.
• Ascending above a required Decompression Stop Depth for less than 5 minutes.
• Ascent rate exceeds 60 FPM (18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 30 FPM (9 MPM) at 30 FT (9 M) or less.
• Entry into Delayed or Full Violation modes (described later).
Situations in which the Alarm cannot be acknowledged include -
• Being above a required Decompression Stop Depth for more than 5 minutes.
• Being in Decompression that requires a Stop Depth much greater than 60 FT (18 M).
• Being on the surface for 5 minutes without completing a Decompression obligation.

INSIGHT
BACKLIGHT
To activate the HydroGlo® Backlight, press the S (Right) button momentarily (< 2 seconds).
The screen will be illuminated for 10 seconds. Press the button again to activate as desired.
The Backlight is disabled if the button is held depressed longer than 10 seconds or during a Low Battery Condition.
NOTE: Sherwood Scuba recommends that you carry primary and backup dive lights when
N
conducting dives that could include low light situations.
POWER SUPPLY
The INSIGHT utilizes one (1) 3 volt, CR2450 Lithium Battery that should provide from 300 dive hours of operation if you
conduct one 1 - hour dive each time the unit is activated, to over 600 dive hours of operation if you conduct two or more dives
each time the unit is activated.
Battery Indicator
A Battery icon (Fig. 8a) provides an indication of Low Battery Condition. It will only appear on the
Surface TIME (or WET), DATA, and FLY/SAT screens. It will not be displayed on other surface display screens or during Dive Modes.
Low Battery Condition
• Voltage level is checked upon activation and every 4.5 minutes during operation.
• Once 75% of full power is consumed, the icon will appear on the screens mentioned as a warning that the Battery is to be changed prior to conducting any further dives with the unit.
a
A
S
Fig. 8 - Low Battery
19
• If a Low Battery Condition exists when the unit is activated (by pressing the button), the Battery icon will appear flashing once per second for 5 seconds followed by shutdown of the unit.
• If the button is not pressed to activate the unit prior to a dive, and a Low Battery Condition exists, the Low Battery icon
will appear flashing as a warning upon descent past 4 feet (1.2 meters). No other information will be displayed and the
unit will not enter Dive Mode.
• If the unit did not display the Low Battery icon 'prior to' entering the Dive Mode, and a Low Battery Condition occurs
during the dive, there will be sufficient Battery power to maintain unit operation for the 'remainder of that dive'. The
Low Battery icon will appear upon surfacing when the TIME (or WET) screen is displayed.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The INSIGHT will operate in water temperatures from 28° to 95° F (-2 to 35 °C) and out of the water from 20° to 140°F (-6 to
60 °C). At extremely low temperatures, the LCD may become sluggish, but this will not affect its accuracy. If stored or transported in extremely low temperature areas (below freezing), warm the unit and battery with body heat before diving.
It is possible to damage the electronics if left exposed to direct sunlight, or in a hot confined space (like a car trunk). After diving, cover it and keep it out of the sun. If inadvertently left in the direct sunlight, the LCD display may become totally
black. If this occurs, immediately immerse it in water. The display should recover its normal appearance after a few minutes.
Damage from excess heat, or cold, is not covered by the two year limited warranty.

WATER CONTACT
NOTE: This method functions only when the Wet Activation feature is set ON.
N
The INSIGHT has contacts that cause it to activate when the space between the contacts is bridged by
a conductive material (e.g., water contact) and enter WET Mode (Fig. 9A) or DIVE Mode.
Upon removing the bridge between the contacts (drying the unit), the alpha graphic TIME replaces the
graphic WET (Fig. 9B).
If the contacts are still bridged 2 hours after a dive, the alpha graphic WET appears together with the
graphic FLY:SAT and the Time to Fly and Desaturation countdown timers.
S
Upon drying the unit, the graphic WET is replaced with the graphic TIME.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE (ONLY IF MANUALLY ACTIVATED)
Immediately following manual (push button) activation, the INSIGHT lights all segments of the LCD
and initiates a countdown sequence (Fig. 10). Following the countdown sequence (from 8, -, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) which takes about 2 seconds, it verifies that sensor readings and battery voltage are
within tolerance. If values are satisfactory, it enters Surface Mode displaying the TIME screen.
When the A (Left) button is held depressed and as the Diagnostic countdown reaches 00, a Serial
Number screen appears displaying the unit’s Serial Number and firmware code Revision Number as
long as the button is held depressed (Fig. 11). Upon releasing the button, the unit shuts Off.
Once the unit is activated, regardless of what mode it is in, it automatically reverts to DIVE MODE
upon descending to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.

PLAN SCREENS
The PLAN screens are accessible during a new activation period or greater than 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive.
When set for Air or Nitrox operation, pressing and releasing the A (left) button 2 times (< 2 sec each time) while the TIME/
WET screen is being displayed (TIME/WET >> DATA >> PLAN), or 1 time while the DATA screen is being displayed will
access the PLAN screen.
While viewing the PLAN screen, pressing and releasing the S (Right) button increases the Planned Depth in increments of 10
FT (3 M), displaying the information one screen at a time. Holding the button depressed scrolls through the screens at a rate of
8 per second. The Backlight does not operate when S is pressed.
Information provided includes Depths and allowable no decompression dive times (NDLs) for Depths from 30 to 190 FT (9 to
57 M).
If calculations are controlled by Nitrogen, the N2 Bar Graph displays all no deco segments. If calculations are controlled by
Oxygen, all segments of the O2 Bar Graph are displayed.
For Depths where no time is allowed, 00 appears for Time and the DECO segment of the N2 Bar Graph flashes. The graphic
PO2 and O2BG flash on the last PLAN screen (allowed time = 00).
The chart in the back of the manual lists predicted PLAN VALUES for Altitudes from Sea Level to 14,000 feet (4,270 meters)
based upon no residual nitrogen from previous dives.

LOG MODE
Log Mode stores information for each dive as 3 screens referred to as the Date Screen, Screen #1, and Screen #2.
Upon gaining access to the screens, information displayed is frozen until either button is pressed again. If neither button is
pressed, operation reverts to the TIME screen in 2 minutes.
The LOG stores information from the latest 50 dives which can be accessed sequentially from the most recent to the oldest, and
retains the information indefinitely, even if the Battery is removed. However, Log information is deleted when the unit is
manually Reset (cleared).
After exceeding 50 dives, the LOG stores the most recent dive while deleting the oldest.
Dives are numbered 1 to 50 for each Activation Period.
• During 10 minutes after a dive, pressing the A button 1 time accesses the Log Mode.
• 10 minutes after a Non-Violation Dive, pressing the A button 4 times accesses Log Mode.
(TIME >> DATA >> PLAN >> LAST >> LOG).
• 10 minutes after a Violation Dive, pressing the A button 3 times accesses Log Mode.
(TIME >> DATA >> LAST >> LOG). PLAN is not available after a Violation Dive.
• Entering Log Mode displays the LOG GO TO screen.
