My Garmin Dive Computer is Stuck in Dive Mode
There are a few circumstances where a Garmin dive computer could start a dive erroneously. Large pressure changes, such as during a flight, can cause the watch to automatically start a dive activity. If this occurs, the watch will no longer show the watch face but instead display only the dive screens and will disable the back button.
Resetting Surface Pressure on a Dive Computer
If the dive computer starts a dive activity incorrectly, you can reset the surface pressure by connecting it to a personal computer. The dive computer must connect to the computer and show the USB symbol on the face in order to reset the surface pressure. After unplugging from the computer, the surface pressure will be reset as the dive computer reboots.
If you do not have access to a computer, you can reset the surface pressure manually. Select your device below for instructions for your specific model.

Adjusting Auto Dive Settings
Some dive computers offer the ability to snooze or turn off the auto dive setting on the device. If you know that you are going to be in a situation when the watch might enter a dive, such as swimming without starting a swim activity or flying in a plane, you may want to adjust the auto dive setting to avoid the device erroneously starting a dive.
Select one of the dropdowns below for specific steps to adjust your auto dive settings.
