3.4.2 Reverse No-Decompression Time Bar Graph
The available no-decompression time is also shown visually in the multi-function bar
graph in the bottom of the display (Fig. 3.10). When your available no-decompression
time decreases below 60 minutes, the first bar graph segment appears. As your body
absorbs more nitrogen, more segments start to appear.
Green Zone (a)
As a safety precaution Suunto recommends that divers using the dive computer should
maintain the no-decompression bar graph within the green zone.
Yellow Zone (b)
As all of the bars appear (yellow zone), your no-decompression limit is less than 10
minutes and you are getting very close to no-decompression limits. At this point, you
should start your ascent towards the surface.
Fig. 3.10 REVERSE NO-
DECOMPRESSION TIME BAR GRAPH
The first bar from the left appears, when the
available no-decompression time decreases
below 60 minutes. The following bars
appear, when the available no-decompression
time decreases below 40, 30, 20 (green zone,
a) and 10 minutes (yellow zone, b).
