DRIVER MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of a SEAC freediving computer.
The SEAC Driver is a technologically advanced instrument, designed and
manufactured to provide all the information a freediver or spearfisherman
needs.
Check www.seacsub.com for any updates to this manual.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
GENERAL WARNINGS
• WARNING!
Read the user manual fully before using the SEAC computer.
Using the computer incorrectly will void the warranty and can
permanently damage the computer.
• WARNING!
Only use the dive computer after you have read all sections of the
instruction manual and you have understood how it works.
• WARNING!
The dive computer is not a substitute for diver training and should only be
used by divers who have been properly trained and who have earned the
appropriate license issued by a Certified Teaching Association.
• WARNING!
Freediving entails risks of syncope, taravana, pulmonary edema, and
hemoptysis, and in general other risks related to diving: even a thorough
reading of this manual and use of the instrument does not exclude
potential dangers.
• WARNING!
The computer cannot take into account individual physiological changes
that can change from one day to the next. For this reason it's good
practice to use the device conservatively and cautiously, remaining within
the limits shown by the computer in order to minimize the risks.
4
• WARNING!
It is strictly forbidden to freedive in the 12 hours after diving with scuba
equipment!
Violating this rule could considerably increase the risk of decompression
sickness.
• WARNING!
Do not share one computer between two divers during the dive. Every
diver must have their own instrument to provide information and save
only that diver's data.
• WARNING!
Before diving, you must check the battery charge. Do NOT dive if the low
battery icon is shown on the display. Always check that the display shows
no signs of any malfunction and that it is clearly legible.
• WARNING!
Always check that the settings are correct for your dive, and don't allow
anyone else to tamper with your computer before the dive. If it has been
tampered with by another person, check that your settings are correct.
• WARNING!
It is important to keep in mind that your body undergoes changes, even
daily changes, that a computer cannot account for. If your physical
condition is not excellent, or if you feel any physical problems, do not
dive!

The session can be concluded in the following ways:
1. Manually, by pressing the “U” button for 2 seconds.
2. Automatically, after 1 hour on the surface.
The following information is displayed during the dive: ascent or descent
speed on the upper left (in m/sec. or ft/sec.), temperature on the upper right,
Dive Time in the middle, and depth at the bottom.
ALARMS DURING THE DIVE
• maximum depth set exceeded: auditory alarm for 30 seconds, and MAX icon
flashing on the display.
• maximum dive time set exceeded: auditory alarm for 30 seconds, and dive
time flashing on the display.
• failure to respect the suggested recovery time on the surface (MSST):
auditory alarm when you descend beyond 1.5 meters in depth. Press any of
the 4 buttons to switch off the alarm.
SURFACE TIME - MSST (MINIMUM SUGGESTED SURFACE TIME)
The Driver will suggest a minimum surface time for physical recovery between
two dives, which will be shown on the upper left, using a flashing “RECOVERY”
icon. The surface time calculation that will be shown on the display is as
follows: for freedives to depths shallower than 30 meters = dive time x 2.
Freedives to a depth below 30 meters = max depth/5. The MSST value you see
on the upper left as soon as the dive concludes is expressed in minutes and
is rounded up to the next higher full minute. The surface time timer will start
in the middle of the screen, and the rectangle reading RECOVERY will flash
alongside the word SURFACE and until the MSST period is complete. When
the suggested surface time has elapsed, the flashing icon will switch off, but
surface time will continue to be displayed.
• WARNING!
If you fail to respect the MSST and dive early, the Driver will signal a
violation with an auditory alarm as soon as you descend past 1.5 meters.
(At the user's full responsibility, this can be disabled. See SET DIVE
mode.)

hydration reminder
During the session, the warning “drink H2O” will appear on the screen: it's a
reminder to hydrate by drinking water. When you freedive, it's crucial to stay
hydrated in order to reduce the risks of serious health problems that can strike
freedivers that can potentially lead to very serious consequences. The worst of
these is a syndrome commonly known as Taravana.
Press any button to clear the hydration reminder.
• Maximum surface time is one hour. After that time, the session will be closed
automatically.
• You can also decide to end the session earlier by pressing the “U” button.
The SAVE LOG screen will appear for 2 seconds.
• “Memory full” will appear when there is no space remaining in the logbook.
When this happens the Driver can no longer save data for subsequent dives,
although it is still able to provide information on dives as they happen. To
allow the Driver to resume saving data, you will need to empty the memory
by permanently deleting the data (see instructions under “Deleting logbook
archive”); before you do this, we recommend you download the saved dives
to PC or Mac.
DRIVER
15
LOGBOOK MODE
The Driver logbook is organized into sessions, meaning a group of dives that
occur close together, up to 199 dives per session. Maximum permitted surface
interval between one dive and the next before the session is considered
complete is 59’59” , unless you terminate it manually.
• In logbook mode for 2 seconds you will see: minimum recorded temperature,
total number of sessions in memory, maximum recorded depth. Next you
will see: minimum recorded temperature, total number of dives recorded,
longest dive, and maximum recorded depth.
• Deleting the logbook archive: you can enter the delete full logbook archive
function from the general Logbook menu by pressing “M” for 2 seconds.
Then choose YES or NO and confirm with the M button.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
• WARNING!
Batteries should always be replaced by an authorized SEAC Center,
because this is a delicate operation with a high probability of subsequent
flooding of the Driver if performed by inexpert personnel.
SEAC declines all responsibility for problems resulting from changing the
battery.
• WARNING!
When replacing the CR2032 battery, it's a good idea to also replace the
O-ring of the battery cap an original SEAC O-ring.
a) Unscrew and remove the three screws from the battery compartment.
b) Insert a small flathead screwdriver in the screw seat closest to the strap
and prize off the lid.
c) Again using the small flathead screwdriver, prize up the battery from its
housing and remove it.
d) Insert the new battery, snapping it into its housing and making sure that
the “+” polarity sign is facing outward.
e) Remove the old O-ring from the housing in the metal cover and replace it
with the new one. Make sure that the O-Ring is not damaged, and once
inserted make sure it isn't twisted at any point.
f) Position the cover on the Driver case, and press it evenly downward.
Make sure that in the area around the screws, the cover is flush with the
case.
g) Keep the cover pressed down on the Driver case while replacing the
three screws. Although the three screws are screwed through metal
inserts fixed in the case, we recommend not tightening with excessive
force to reduce the risk of stripping. The recommended torque is 12
Ncm. The O-ring seal on the battery compartment is radial, so excessive
closing force on the compartment screws is not necessary.
NOTE
Do not dispose of used batteries in the environment or discard them as
ordinary waste; we recommend using special battery disposal services.

1. The warranty has a duration of 2 (two) years starting from the time the
product is purchased at a SEAC authorized dealer and requires no prior
or subsequent formal validation.
2. The warranty is acknowledged only to the original buyer of the product
at a SEAC authorized dealer. The warranty is strictly individual; it is not

The warranty covers operating defects deriving from:
• Intrinsic defects caused by the use of materials considered unsuitable.
• Clear errors in the design, manufacturing, or assembling of the product
or its components.
• Incorrect or inadequate instructions and recommendations for use.
4. Any repairs, modifications, transformations, adjustments or tampering
in general carried out on the finished product or parts of it that are not
authorized in advance by SEAC or that are carried out by non-authorized
personnel automatically and immediately void the warranty.
5. The warranty entitles you to assistance and free repair in the shortest
possible time, or to a full free replacement of the product (at the sole
discretion of SEAC) or parts of it whenever a malfunctioning defect
specifically described in item 3 above is acknowledged by SEAC.
6. This warranty may also be exercised by shipping the product believed
to be defective to SEAC. The authorized intermediary for this operation
must be the SEAC dealer where the product was purchased. If this is
not practically possible, solely upon authorization from SEAC, customers
may by authorized to send the defective product to any other SEAC
dealer or directly to SEAC itself.
In order to exercise the warranty, the product must be accompanied by proof
of purchase in the form of a copy of the receipt or invoice (or other equivalent
fiscal record showing the name of the authorized SEAC dealer from which the
product was purchased as well as the date of purchase).
Whenever SEAC receives a product which:
• is not accompanied by proof of purchase having the above mentioned
characteristics;
• is in such condition as to determine the termination of the warranty in
accordance with the provisions of item 4 above;
• has defects resulting from external and additional causes as compared to
the ones specifically mentioned at item 3 above;
• has been used improperly and/or for uses other than those for which the
product was designed;
• has clearly been damaged or deteriorated through intensive use or normal
wear.

SEAC will not carry out any investigations on the product, and will advise the
sender/authorized dealer.
If the sender still wishes an inspection to be performed, a request to that effect
must expressly state that he/she is willing to bear all the costs relevant to said
inspection (labor, spare parts if any, and shipping charges).
Failing this, SEAC will return the product at the expense and care of the
recipient.
The warranty always excludes defects or imperfections deriving from:
• Damage caused by water seepage resulting from improper use; for example,
dirty, damaged, or badly mounted seals resulting from changing the battery,
incorrect closure of the battery compartment, etc.
• Rupture or scratching of the case, glass, or strap as a result of strong impacts.
• Damage resulting from excessive exposure to elevated or low temperatures.
• Damage caused by the use of compressed air to dry and/or clean the dive
computer.
• Improper use or excessive stress.
• Failure to follow the usage instructions.
• External agents, such as damage due to transport, blows or falls, atmospheric
agents, natural phenomena, or chemical agents.
• Unauthorized personnel performing maintenance or repairs or opening the
device.
• Pressure testing out of the water.
• Accidents while diving.
• Use other than that intended for the product, or other than that indicated in
the instruction manual. The warranty does not cover depletion of batteries.
Repairs or replacements made during the warranty period do not imply any
right to an extension of the warranty itself.
