The advantage of Suunto Fused RGBM is additional safety through
its ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations. For recreational
divers it may offer slightly longer no- deco times, depending on the
chosen personal setting. For open-circuit technical divers it allows
use of gas mixes with helium - on deeper and longer dives helium
based gas mixes provide shorter ascent times. And finally, for
rebreather divers the Suunto Fused RGBM algorithm gives the
perfect tool to be used as a non-monitoring, set point dive
computer.

3.23.1 Diver safety

Because any decompression model is purely theoretical and does
not monitor the actual body of a diver, no decompression model
can guarantee the absence of DCS. Experimentally it has been
shown that the body adapts to decompression to some degree
when diving is constant and frequent. Two personal adjustment
settings (P-1 and P-2) are available for divers who dive constantly
and are ready to accept greater personal risk.

CAUTION: Always use the same personal and altitude

adjustment settings for the actual dive than for the planning.

Increasing the personal adjustment setting from the planned

setting as well as increasing the altitude adjustment setting can

lead to longer decompression times deeper and thus to larger

required gas volume. You can run out of breathing gas underwater

if the personal adjustment setting has been changed after dive

planning.
