SUUNTO Cobra3 - Manual (Page 26)

WHEN CEILING AND STOP
ARE DISPLAYED, IMMEDIATELY
(WITHIN 3 MINUTES) DESCEND
TO OR BELOW CEILING.
If you continue to violate the Mandatory Safety Stop, the tissue calculation model is affected
and the dive computer shortens the available no-decompression time for your next dive.
In this situation, it is recommended that you prolong your surface interval time before your
next dive.
5.11. Deep stops
Deep Stops are safety stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of
minimizing microbubble formation and excitation.
The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stops iteratively, placing the first stop about
halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first Deep Stop is
completed, another Deep Stop will be prompted halfway to the ceiling, and so on until the
ceiling depth is reached.
The Deep Stop length can be set to 1 or 2 minutes.
