How about we think about this the other way around. Imagine that the OSTC had been programmed to start the Surface Interval timer when it had assumed you'd surfaced, when the depth threshold was reached, when it then started timing the dive mode time-out... And how most, if not all other DCs work......

For ages I've been after the Divers Alert Network (DAN) dog-tags that i seem to remember seeing somewhere... They had your DAN insurance number on it and could be clipped to your BCD/Harness. But we have the custom text that displays on the surface screen of our OSTC :-) Luckily the line just fits m...

To scubatinoo, Bumlerd, Bardass, TnT, adrian-bluescuba, tiefunten, Clownfish & Stephane, You guys appear to be objecting to the plea for the OSTC's 'Surface Interval' feature to be modified so that it reports the time a diver has been on the surface breathing air at surface pressure, instead of ...

Let's have a recap, to make it easy to follow. Facts we know: 1) Surface Interval : This is the time a diver has been on the surface, breathing air/gas at surface pressure, after a dive. 2) OSTC's Surface Interval: This is the time since the Dive Mode timed-out (CF02), which by default is 240 second...
Firstly, I think it's polite and normal forum etiquette that if you wish to contribute to a conversation thread, you first read the whole thread, as the discussion will explain the problems, situations, ideas, and determine acknowledged facts along the way.

Just to Clarify it all(?!) From the U.S Navy Diving Manual rev. 6 [pre] Surface Interval. In the context of repetitive diving, the surface interval is the time a diver spends on the surface between dives. It begins as soon as the diver surfaces and ends as soon as he starts his next descent. [/pre] ...

What does this thread tell us about the attitude to reporting of bugs? Should we not bother? Do the users not want bugs fixed? Because it changes something perhaps, and they hate change... We're not talking about the colour of the battery or whether the ostc should include functionality that recreat...
