Oxygen level The percentage of oxygen contained in a breathing mix.
Partial pressure of
oxygen (PPO2)
The total pressure exerted by oxygen in a breathing mix.
It is a measurement of the concentration of oxygen in a
gas mixture. PPO
2
levels are determined by the percentage
of oxygen in a gas mixture and the depth at which a diver
breathes the gas. A PPO
2
level above 1.6 bar is considered
extremely dangerous and may be toxic.
Residual nitrogen The amount of excess nitrogen remaining in a diver’s body
after one or more dives.
Safety Factor The level of conservativeness of the decompression
algorithm. This allows the user to select a standard
decompression algorithm, a conservative algorithm or a
progressive algorithm.
Stop countdown
time
The amount of time required to complete a safety stop or a
mandatory decompression stop.
Surface interval The amount of time that elapses between surfacing from a
dive and beginning a new dive.
