Why can transferred dives differ from real dives?
Suunto Dive Manager sometimes over or under estimates the decompression required for a dive. Use the Dive graph window to study dives transferred into your logbook through a PC interface. You will notice that some dives show tissue saturation over 100% on the tissue saturation graph, meaning that decompression was required. But during the dive your dive computer remained in no-decompression mode the entire dive. Dive Manager sometimes reports that you surfaced too soon, when you know that you did not. This happens because your dive computer breaks the dive time into equal segments called samples. It records dive information in its memory once during each sample. The information recorded is valid for one instant of the time, not necessarily for the interval as a whole. The longer the interval, the less likely that this accurately represents the whole sample. Dive Manager can only know the information for one instant during each sample, and it guesses what happened during the remainder o
