3.3.2 Consumed Bottom Time (CBT) Bar Graph

The available no-decompression time is also shown visually in the multi-function

bar graph in the bottom of the display (Fig. 3.9). When your available no-decompres-

sion time decreases below 60 minutes, the first bar graph segment appears. As your

body absorbs more nitrogen, more segments start to appear.

White Zone (a)

As a safety precaution Suunto recommends that divers using the dive computer should

maintain the no-decompression bar graph within the white zone.

Red Zone (b)

As all of the bars appear (red 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.
