Suunto Zoop Novo has four main modes: TIME, DIVE, PLANNING and MEMORY. Change modes by pressing [MODE]. Unless DIVE mode is turned off, Suunto Zoop Novo automatically switches to DIVE mode if you are more than 1.2 m (4 ft) under water.

However, you should switch to dive mode before diving to check altitude and personal settings, battery condition and so on. Each time your Suunto Zoop Novo enters dive mode, a series of automatic checks are performed. All graphical display elements are turned ON, and the backlight and the beep are activated. After this, your altitude and personal settings are displayed along with the maximum operating depth (MOD), gas content, and PO2 values. Then the battery level is checked.

Suunto Zoop Novo has the following dive modes:

  • Air: for diving with regular air
  • Nitrox: for diving using oxygen-enriched gas mixtures
  • Gauge: for using the dive computer as a bottom timer
  • Free: for freediving
  • Off: turns dive mode off completely; the dive computer does not automatically switch the dive mode when submerged and dive planning mode is hidden
