Extreme Altitude Dive

I am tentatively planning a dive at 13500 ft above sea level. I am curious if the altitude adjustment algorithm in the MK2i (w/ T1) is capable of this, or if it might cause a bug?

Garmin - Chris Thank you so much for this!!! Looking forward to the dive. I plan on diving a PO2 of 1.4 to help with minimizing tissue loads from the dive itself. I was just concerned that since many tables etc are only available up to ~10kft that the algorithm in the computer may only be coded for that as well.
