Glossary

aVG Average depth, calculated from the beginning of the dive or, in case of
gauge mode, from the time of reset.
cnS o central nervous System oxygen toxicity.

deSat Desaturation time. The time needed for the body to completely eliminate
any nitrogen taken up during diving.
dive time The whole time spent below a depth of 0.8m/3ft.
Gas integration The feature in Galileo to include tank pressure information in its calculations
and to display it on the computer screen.
irda Infrared Data Association, refers to the communication protocol between
dive computer and PC.
Max depth Maximum depth attained during the dive.
MB Microbubble. Microbubbles are tiny bubbles that can build up in a diver's
body during and after a dive.
MB level One of the six steps, or levels, in UWATEC's customizable algorithm.
Mod Maximum Operating Depth. This is the depth at which the partial pressure
of oxygen (ppO
deeper than the MOD will expose the diver to unsafe ppO
nitrox A breathing mix made of oxygen and nitrogen, with the oxygen
concentration being 22% or higher. In this manual, air is considered as a
particular type of Nitrox.
no fLy Minimum amount of time the diver should wait before taking a plane.
no-stop time This is the time that you can stay at the current depth and still make a
direct ascent to the surface without having to perform decompression
stops.
o
Oxygen.
2
o % Oxygen concentration used by the computer in all calculations.
2
Pairing The act of establishing a coded RF communication between Galileo and
a high-pressure transmitter.
ppo Partial pressure of oxygen. This is the pressure of the oxygen in the
2
breathing mix. It is a function of depth and oxygen concentration. A ppO
higher than 1.6bar is considered dangerous.
ppo max The maximum allowed value for ppO
2
concentration it defines the MOD.
Press The act of pressing and releasing one of the buttons.
Press and hold The act of pressing and holding one of the buttons for 1 second before
releasing it.
rBt Remaining Bottom Time, it is the time that a diver can spend at the current
depth before having to ascend in order to reach the surface with the set
tank reserve. The RBT accounts for all existing (if present) and upcoming
decompression obligations.
SoS mode The result of having completed a dive without respecting all mandatory
decompression obligations.
Stopwatch
A stopwatch, for example to time certain legs of the dive.
Surf int Surface interval, the time from the moment the dive is closed.
