Time Display Mode (post-dive)
After making a dive, the Time Display Mode
shows additional information (figure 5):
a. Nitrogen Bar Graph. The Nitrogen
bar graph is a series of nine segments
that graphically represent your body’s
residual nitrogen. During the surface
interval, the Nitrogen Bar Graph starts
to recede, indicating that you are off-
gassing nitrogen.
b. Oxygen Bar Graph. The Oxygen Bar
Graph is a series of eight segments that
graphically represent your CNS clock.
It tracks your exposure to higher par-
tial pressures of oxygen when diving
with enriched air nitrox.
c. Desaturation Time: Desaturation time is the amount of time it takes to release
all the residual nitrogen left in your body from previous dives. Any dive made
while there is still desaturation time remaining is considered a repetitive dive.
