WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ASCENT RATE! Rapid as-
cents increase the risk of injury. You should always make the
Mandatory and Recommended Safety Stops after you have ex-
ceeded the maximum recommended ascent rate. If this Mandatory
Safety Stop is not completed, the decompression model will
penalize your next dive(s).
6.1.5. Safety Stops
A three (3) minute Recommended Safety Stop is prompted after every dive to over
10 m.
6.1.6. Decompression dives
When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive changes into a decompression
dive. Therefore, you must perform one or more decompression stops on your way to
the surface. The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by an ASC TIME,
and a CEILING notation will appear. An upward pointing arrow will also prompt you
to start your ascent.
If you exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive, the dive computer will provide
the decompression information required for ascent. After this, the instrument will
continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.
Rather than requiring you to make stops at fixed depths, the dive computer lets you
decompress within a range of depths (continuous decompression).
The ascent time (ASC TIME) is the minimum amount of time needed to reach the
surface in a decompression dive. It includes:
