Repetitive dive?

[bmoons]

I am relatively new to diving and recently purchased the zoop. however, i have had about 12 dives on rented gear and recorded it in my logbook. i am now attempting to manually add my previous dives before i begin logging them with the zoop. i am curious as to what goes in the repetitive dive location? and if then my total bottom time would include the first dive as well as the 2nd repetitive one? a little clarification would help, thanks!

Repetitive dive number just means it's in the same series. The zoop will record this automatically, based on when you have fully gassed off, according to the computer. IE if you have not gassed off and the dive is repetitive, it will increment by one. You can put whatever you like in there manually, but I guess one of the common ways to determine if they are repetitive would be if the dives are less than 24 hours apart.

It doesn't affect the duration of the dives.
