PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING  
Strictly observe the precautions below to enjoy safe diving with the SEIKO Diving Computer Cal. DH33.  
If the temperature of the watch is much higher than that of the  
IN GENERAL  
water, for example, after having been left under direct sunlight  
before being put in water, the watch may not measure the  
depth of water accurately. Soak it in water for approximately  
5 minutes before using it for diving.  
Be sure to check that the actual percentage of oxygen in your  
tank (FO2) is properly set for the watch. FO2 cannot be  
readjusted while you are underwater.  
Do not stay underwater beyond the no-decompression limits.  
When you have descended below 15 m (50ft), be sure to make  
a safety stop in ascent at 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 ft). If the watch gives  
a decompression warning, it is recommended that you stay at  
the decompression stop depth longer than the stop time that  
the watch indicates.  
*
While making a decompression stop, be sure to check the  
amount of air remaining in your tank.  
Check that the measurement units of depth and temperature  
are set according to your requirement. They can be selected  
from “meters (m) and centigrade (° C)” and “feet (ft) and  
Fahrenheit (° F)”.  
The watch does not indicate the amount of air in your tank.  
Use a submersible pressure gauge to check it.  
For safety’s sake, use other diving equipment such as dive  
computer, depth gauge and another diver’s watch together  
with the watch.  
WHILE DIVING  
Take care not to hit the watch against hard objects such as  
rocks.  
The watch cannot serve as your “buddy”. Abide by the rules  
of scuba diving, and never dive alone even if you have the  
watch on your wrist.  
Check that the watch indicates the current depth properly. If  
“- - -” or “Err” is shown when the current depth is less than 100  
m (329 ft), stop using the watch immediately, and use other  
diving equipment such as diving computer, depth gauge and  
another diver’s watch you have with you.  
Abrupt change of altitude after diving is extremely hazardous  
to your health. Do not move across the altitude ranks that the  
watch indicates.  
While in the dive mode, the display cannot be changed over to  
modes other than time/calendar by pressing button “C”.  
BEFORE DIVING  
Check that:  
Depending on the aquatic environment where the watch is  
used, the beeping sound of the regular alarm and warnings  
may or may not reach your ears.  
the watch is operating normally.  
there are no visible scratches or cracks in the band and  
crystal.  
The watch measures the depth of water on the basis of  
seawater having a specific gravity of 1.03. When it is used in  
fresh water such as lakes, therefore, the displayed depth  
should be corrected by multiplying it by 1.03. No-  
decompression limits, however, will be calculated and  
displayed normally without any adjustment.  
the band is securely fastened to the watch case.  
the battery life indicator (battery mark) is not shown on  
the display.  
all segments of the display are not flashing.  
the altitude rank mark is not flashing.  
not all nine residual nitrogen indicator bars are lit up.  
Ex.) If the displayed depth of the water is 19.4 m (64 ft) in fresh  
water (specific gravity 1.00), the actual depth is:

FEATURES  
The SEIKO Diving Computer Cal. DH33 is a digital diver’s watch featuring dive computer functions.  
An algorithm is programmed into it to calculate multilevel diving.  
The log data includes date of dive, entry/exit time, dive time,  
maximum depth, FO2 setting (percentage of oxygen in gas  
mixture), and residual nitrogen/oxygen at the end of dive.  
DIVE COMPUTER FUNCTIONS  
Algorithm  
The measurement units of depth and temperature can be  
selected from “meters (m) and centigrade (° C)”, and “feet (ft)  
and Fahrenheit (° F)”.  
The watch has an algorithm that calculates multilevel diving.  
The watch uses an algorithm developed by Mr. Randy  
Bohrer, one of the most distinguished scientist in this field,  
which expands upon the theories of the so-called Swiss  
model.  
TIME FUNCTIONS  
Dive function  
Time/calendar function  
Hour, minutes, seconds, month, date and day are displayed.  
The watch is equipped with an auto switch that senses  
water and activates the dive function.  
The diving data is measured automatically while diving  
between 1.5 m (5 ft) and 99.9 m (328 ft), eliminating the need  
for any button operation.  
The residual nitrogen and residual oxygen are indicated  
graphically for a quick grasp of the current safety situation.  
Fully automatic calendar  
The calendar adjusts automatically for odd and even months  
including February of leap years up to 2050.  
Regular alarm function  
The alarm can be set to ring once a day at a designated time.  
Altitude compensation  
Hourly time signal and alarm test functions are also provided.  
The watch measures the current altitude automatically,  
calculating the residual nitrogen and other data for the next  
dive taking into account the altitude change following an air  
flight or move to high ground.  
Hour correction function  
When you are traveling around different time zones, the  
time and calendar of the place you visit can be shown easily  
with only the press of a button. The time can be adjusted in  
30 minute increments, making it available for those areas  
having a time difference in 30 minute increments from  
GMT.  
Nitrox diving function  
The watch can provide data for nitrox diving.  
The percentage of oxygen (FO2) in the gas mixture of your  
scuba tank can be set for the watch from 22% to 50%.  
Dive plan function  
No-decompression limits are calculated, automatically  
taking into consideration the current residual nitrogen and  
altitude.  
OTHER FUNCTION  
Illuminating light (Electroluminescent panel)  
Certain materials emit light when voltage passes through  
them. This phenomenon, known as “electroluminescence”,  
is used to illuminate the display.  
This mode is convenient for planning the next dive.  
Dive log function  
Details of up to 30 dives are recorded automatically.  
With the press of a button, the light illuminates the display  
for 2 to 3 seconds for easy viewing in the dark.

HOW TO USE DIVE COMPUTER FUNCTIONS  
NITROX DIVING FUNCTION  
The percentage of oxygen in the air used for ordinary diving is 21%. The higher percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture means a lower  
percentage of nitrogen than ordinary air, reducing the risk of decompression sickness.  
WARNING  
This function should be used only when you dive with  
a gas mixture of oxygen and nitrogen other than  
ordinary air. When diving with air, be sure to set the  
percentage of oxygen (FO2) to “Air”.  
Never use the watch for diving with any value other  
than the actual percentage of oxygen in your tank set  
for FO2.  
If you have set FO2 for nitrox diving, be sure to re-check  
the FO2 setting before a dive. On the day following the  
day you made a nitrox dive, “– –” is displayed in place  
of the FO2 setting, “Nx” flashes, and the watch cannot  
be used for diving. In that case, set FO2 again.  
By setting “Air” for FO2, the percentage of oxygen is set to 21% as in the ordinary air. FO2 can be set from 22% to 50% according to  
the gas mixture of your scuba tank.  
When a value between 22 and 50 is set for FO2, the nitrox mark “Nx” appears on the display, and the watch is shifted for nitrox diving.  
The watch calculates the no-decompression limit, residual nitrogen and other data according to the FO2 you have set.

DIVE FUNCTION  
The auto switch (water contact sensor) senses water and automatically activates the DIVE FUNCTION, showing the DIVE display. There  
is no need to change the displays manually.  
As you descend to 1.5 m (5 ft) underwater, the watch starts showing the current depth and measuring the diving time.  
During a dive, the watch automatically measures depth, water temperature and dive time, and provides the information necessary for  
diving including warnings on hazards.  
WARNING  
Before making a dive, be sure to check the function of  
your watch, following the instructions set forth in  
“BEFORE DIVING” in “PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING” on  
page 4.

After no-decompression limit reaches “0”  
(during decompression diving):  
WARNING  
Do not make a decompression stop at a depth  
shallower than the decompression stop depth the  
watch indicates. It is in violation of the decompression  
stop warning, and the watch will not count down the  
decompression stop time and total ascent time even  
if you make a stop during ascent.  
Never dive beyond the no-decompression limit.  
Residual nitrogen indicator  
Dive time  
Even after the watch has given a decompression stop  
violation warning, it will resume calculation of no-  
decompression diving if you return to the indicated  
decompression stop depth and make a decompression  
stop as indicated by the watch. If you continue  
ascending and surface, defying the warning, the  
watch cannot be used for diving for 48 hours. During  
that time period, the watch is not set to calculate  
decompression diving, and only the surface interval  
and dive log displays are shown. If the aquatic  
environment permits, it is recommended that you  
make a decompression stop at a depth 1 to 2 m (3 to  
7 ft) deeper than the indicated decompression stop  
depth. In that case, take care that you should stay at  
the depth for a longer time period than the  
decompression stop time that the watch indicates.

Terms  
Definition and basic design of the watch  
The watch measures the depth of water  
from 1.5 m (5 ft) up to 99.9 m (328 ft) in 0.1 m  
(1 ft) increments. The measurement is made  
on the basis of seawater having a specific  
gravity of 1.03.  
Ex.) If the displayed depth of the water is 19.4  
m (64 ft) in fresh water (specific gravity  
1.00), the actual depth is:  
The watch measures the time spent on the  
surface in one minute increments up to 48  
hours, starting from the time when the diver  
ascends to a depth of less than 1.5 m (5 ft).  
Depth  
Surface  
interval  
time  
(SURF. T)  
If the diver descends to a depth of greater  
than 1.5 m (5 ft) when the surface interval  
time is less than 10 minutes, the previous  
and the new dives are considered  
inseparable, and the dive times of both dives  
and the surface interval time are added  
together.  
19.4 m (64 ft) x 1.03/1.00 = 20.0 m (66 ft)  
No-decompression limits and residual  
nitrogen the watch provides are calculated  
on the basis of water pressure only, and can  
be used while diving in fresh water without  
any conversion.  
The watch uses an algorithm developed by  
Mr. Randy Bohrer, one of the most  
distinguished scientists in this field, which  
expands upon the theories of the so-called  
Swiss model.  
Algorithm  
The watch measures and indicates dive time  
in one minute increments up to 599 minutes.  
It starts measuring the time when the diver  
descends more than 1.5 m (5 ft), and stops  
when the diver ascends to a depth of less  
than 1.5 m (5 ft).  
Dive time  
(DIVE. T)  
The watch is intended for use in no-  
decompression diving (diving which allows  
you to make a direct, continuous ascent to  
the surface). Anticipating emergencies, it  
provides information for decompression  
diving.  
De-  
compression  
diving  
The watch measures the water temperature  
in 0.1° C (1° F) increments from -5.0° C up to  
+40.0° C (23° F up to 104° F). The water  
temperature recorded in the dive log function  
is a measurement taken at the maximum  
depth.  
Water

Decompression diving refers to diving which  
requires stops at specified depths during  
ascent, due to an impermissible amount of  
nitrogen having accumulated in the diver’s  
body.

Entry time  
The percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture  
of the scuba tank, which the diver needs to  
set for the watch before diving. For diving  
with air, “Air” (21%) should be set. FO2 can  
be set from 22% to 50%, and if a value within  
this range is set, the watch calculates nitrox  
diving, and the nitrox mark “Nx” is shown  
on the display. The set FO2 is recorded in the  
dive log function.

BATTERY CHANGE  
Notes:  
The miniature battery which powers your watch  
3
Years  
should last approximately 3 years. However,  
because the battery is inserted at the factory to  
check the function and performance of the watch,  
its actual life once in your possession may be less  
than the specified period. When the battery  
expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible  
to prevent any malfunction. It will be replaced at  
cost. For battery replacement, we recommend  
that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER  
and request SEIKO CR2032 battery.  
1. The log data stored in the dive log function is not erased when the  
battery is replaced with a new one. It is possible, however, for the  
stored log data to be inadvertently erased during the function checking  
procedures after battery replacement. It is recommended that the log  
data in memory be noted down in your log book before requesting a  
battery change.  
2. For battery replacement, take the watch to the retailer from whom it  
was purchased. The work of replacing the battery is conducted at a  
SEIKO SERVICE CENTER. For safety’s sake, the watch will also  
undergo a strict check on its water resistant quality and depth  
measurement function in addition to battery replacement. Therefore,  
it will take approximately 2 weeks before the watch is returned to you.  
*
The battery life may be less than 3 years if the regular  
alarm is used more than 10 seconds a day, the  
illuminating light more than 10 seconds a day, and/or  
the diving function more than 50 times a year, one  
hour per dive.  
3. After the battery is replaced with a new one, “meters (m) and  
centigrade (° C)” are automatically set for the measurement units.  
Before diving, therefore, set the measurement units as required. (See  
“SELECTION OF MEASUREMENT UNITS”)  
Battery life indicator  
WARNING  
If the battery mark is shown on the display, the watch will  
stop operating in about a week. Take the watch to the  
retailer from whom it was purchased to replace the battery  
with a new one.  
Do not remove the battery from the watch.  
If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of  
the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a  
doctor immediately.

The diver ascended defying the  
decompression stop violation warning.  
When the surface interval time is less than 5 minutes, making a  
decompression stop as indicated by the watch will return the  
display for no-decompression diving.  
**The log data stored in the dive log function will not be erased when the battery is replaced with a new one. If any malfunction is found during  
checking, however, the stored log data may be erased when the watch is repaired. It is recommended that the log data in memory be noted down  
in your log book before requesting a battery change.
