Advanced Dives
To simulate dives using Nitrox or multiple gas
mixtures, you must first set up the gas mixtures
and gas switch alerts in the Simulation
Setup: Gas Mixes screen. Gas mixtures
entered in the Simulator are distinct from gas
mixtures set up in the normal diving area of the
Cobalt; changing one will not alter the other.
Gas Switch alerts (if set) will trigger an alert
dialog when the switch depth is reached, just
as they would in actual diving. If the automatic
ascent option (the BACK button) is used,
any programmed gas switches will be made
automatically on ascent.
Gas consumption is predicted for each mix
used, and can be seen at the bottom of the
screen when ascending manually, or viewed in
saved SIM dives by stepping through them in
the Profile Screen.

Simulating multi-gas or
decompression dives is
done in the same basic
manner as simulating
other dives.
When simulating
decompression dives the
Deep Stop, Next Stop,
or Safety Stop boxes will
show on the screen, just
as it would in the actual
dive screen. To ascend
you can either manually
ascend using the UP
button, pressing SELECT
to increment time at
decompression stops; or
you can press the BACK
button and select Save
to generate a path to the
surface, automatically
making all stops and
any programmed
gas switches. The
decompression schedule
is saved with the dive in
the SIM Dive Log.
