Automatic dive start

Suunto Nautic S has an automatic start functionality that recognizes pressure increase and water contact. The device enters dive state from the pre-dive screen or from any other watch screen:

  • When in contact with water and the absolute pressure equals to your set dive start depth (the default start depth is 1.2 m / 4 ft).
  • Or if no water contact is recognizable but the absolute pressure equals to your set dive start depth (the default start depth is 1.2 m / 4 ft) + 1.8 m (5.9 ft).

Scuba dives automatically end after the set Dive end time (the default time is 5 min) and when:

  • When in contact with water and the absolute pressure equals to or is less than your set dive start depth (the default start depth is 1.2 m / 4 ft).
  • Or if no water contact is recognizable but the absolute pressure equals to or is less than your set dive start depth (the default start depth is 1.2 m / 4 ft) + 1.8 m (5.9 ft).

If submerged from any non-diving watch screen, Suunto Nautic S automatically enters the dive mode you have last configured.

NOTE:

The Dive start depth can be defined under Dive settings in scuba modes and under Dive options in freedive mode.

WARNING:

The automatic dive start is a precaution feature. We recommend that you always start the dive by entering the selected dive mode to confirm your gas and dive settings.
