The Sunnto D4/6/9 computers do not support that.

(If someone wants to use a more cautious decompression algorithm, the "personal / altitude"
settings are meant for that, and if someone dislikes the "gradient bubble" aspect of the
model, there is an option to turn it down all the way to a tissue-saturation only model.)

I think so, too. But some seem to like it.

But if Suunto does not report 21% O2 for "Air Mode" dives, it would still be good if libdivecomputer
could detect the mode and work with 21% O2 anyway.
