Just double checked the values are definitely metres.

And I guess it makes sense (I had to re think what it was saying) but it appears that on a shallow dive then you can run up and down mountains to your hearts content up to 4000m.

As the diving gets more agressive then it seems to be indicating that you should be more careful about altitude.

It kind of stands to reason I guess,  my computer goes into no fly even if I do a really shallow dive (just like the 4000m limit).  

Don't know about the Ben Nevis bit Peter, But this was straight from the Uwatec web site.  BTW:-  The smart pro also has a no fly symbol as well so you probably could not fly but you could run up and down Ben Nevis !!!   Yep makes no sense to me but hey good luck to anyone who can run up and down Ben Nevis.

1st Figure: Mountain with 4 bars, 850 m / 2790 ft
2nd Figure: Mountain with 3 bars in the top, 1650 m / 5413 ft
3rd Figure: Mountain with 2 bars in the top, 2650 m / 8694 ft
4th Figure: Mountain with 1 bars in the top, 4000 m / 13120 ft

To minimise Microbubble formation, the Smart shows at the surface the altitude ceiling that the diver is prohibited from exceeding, following a dive. Useful for divers who dive in mountainous regions, this is displayed as a flashing altitude segment which corresponds to the altitudes displayed above, and is subject to the preset Microbubble suppression setting in the Smart.

Anyways,  Hope that helps David,  I guess the algorithm / program has definitely been changed after the recall and this maybe why it is only being noticed now and not before.  

Give my best regards to Jason,  and tell him I said soft drinks only - well maybe one shandy.
