Long awaited from my perspective as it adds some excellent features.
My personal favorites are the average depth information, adjustable brightness levels, the cold water low battery warning, improved menu navigation, the ability to edit all gasses on a single screen, and the 1.65 PPO2 warning on O2. No more "oh my god you're gonna die" warning to acknowledge and clear whenever my wrist drops to 20 and a half feet on a 20' deco stop.
One thing to note is the need to download the current dive logs before updating.
The entire list of things in version 30:
Version 30:
Added Brightness setting with fixed values of Low, Med and High and an Auto‐adjusting setting.
All previous versions of the Predator firmware used the Auto setting.
Added Altitude setting. When set to ‘Auto’, pressure changes due to altitude will be used for
depth and decompression calculations. When set to ‘SeaLvl’, the surface pressure will always be
assumed to be 1013mBar (1 atmosphere). Important: The default value is SeaLvl. If you will be
diving at altitude, please ensure this value is set to Auto.
Added button labels to make navigating menus and changing settings easier.
Changed system menu to make changing settings easier.
OC/CC Gases setup added to system menu. All gases can now be edited on one screen.
Added dive plots to Dive Log viewer. Also added average depth to dive log.
Added option to clear dive log.
Added option to manually set dive number (useful when dive log cleared or to sync dive number
with another computer).
Added average depth to info screens.
Added average depth in atmospheres to info screens.
Added fraction inspired O2 (FiO2) to info screens.
Reorganized info screens to show information most relevant to current diving situation.
Added reset to defaults option.
Changed internal battery level measurement to compensate for temperature. Was giving false
low‐battery warnings when in cold water.
PROT model (OC only model) now shows the gas PPO2 on the center line of the display.
In OC mode, changed warning level for high PPO2 (was warning at 1.6, now warns at 1.65).
