Whenever the SLOW warning segment and the STOP
sign appear (Fig. 3.15.), you should immediately slow
down your ascent. When you reach the depth zone
between 6 m to 3 m [20 ft to 10 ft] the STOP and
CEILING depth labels will advise you to make a
Mandatory Safety Stop. Wait until the warning
disappears (Fig. 3.13.). You should not ascend
shallower than 3 m [10 ft] with the Mandatory Safety
Stop warning on.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum ascent rate! Rapid

decompression model will penalize your next
dive(s).
