TEXT 10
A computer for scuba divers will provide in one device
information about time, depth and air supply. It is to be used together
with special divers' tables. A display will provide visual information
and audible warnings about critical conditions.
If a diver wants to know an accurate depth he is down, he must set
water type he is in. If he is in the sea, he will set «sea water»,
otherwise he will set «fresh water». The device shows the diver's
current depth in meters and the level of power left in the batteries. It
will indicate if the level is low, medium or high.
