The Suunto Vyper Air uses traditional recommended safety stops as well as deep
stops.

YOU ARE ADVISED TO MAKE A

DEEPSTOP AT 18 M. THE SECOND

INDICATOR SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE 110

SECONDS LEFT OF YOUR DEEPSTOP.

In order to optimize the response to different increased risk situations, an additional
category of stop, referred to as a Mandatory Safety Stop, has been introduced. The
combination of stop types depends on the user settings and the specific dive situation.
To get the most from the RGBM safety benefits, refer to Section 10.2. RGBM.

5.2. Emergency ascents
In the unlikely event that the dive computer malfunctions during a dive, follow the
emergency procedures provided by your certified dive training agency or, alternatively,
follow these steps:
1.

Assess the situation calmly and then move promptly to less than 18 m/60 ft.

2.

At 18 m/60 ft, slow down your ascent rate to 10 m/33 ft per minute and move to
a depth between 3 and 6 m/10 and 20 ft.

3.

Stay there for as long as your air supply will safely allow. After reaching the sur-
face, do not dive for at least 24 hours.
