5.2.9 Safety Stop
COSMIQ
+
is programmed to automatically count a safety stop at the end of each dive. A 3-minute
(180 seconds) safety stop should be conducted between 3–6 meters/10–20 feet at the end of every
dive.
If you exceed 9 meters/30 feet, COSMIQ
+
will consider this a dive, and will therefore begin
automatically counting the safety stop once you reach a depth of 6 meters/20 feet.
If you dive between 6 meters/20 feet and 9 meters/30 feet for less than 10 minutes, or if you do not
exceed 6 meters/20 feet, COSMIQ
+
will consider this a minor shallow dive and therefore will not
count a safety stop time.
The Stop Countdown Time will be displayed under the Stop indicator in the bottom right corner of
the display screen when COSMIQ
+
detects a depth of 6 meters/20 feet. It will be counted downwards
in minutes and seconds. The countdown will continue as long as you remain within a range of 3–6
meters/10–20 feet. If you ascend above or descend below that depth range, the countdown will
pause until you return to the depth range, at which point it will continue the countdown.
5.2.10 Exceeding the No-decompression Limit
During a dive in Scuba Mode, the no-decompression time limit (NDL) is visible in the top right hand
corner of COSMIQ
+
’s display screen underneath the ‘No Deco’ indicator. The no-decompression
limit is represented by a graphic bar on the right hand side of COSMIQ
+
’s display screen.
The bar represents the no-decompression limit according to the following formula:
NDL Graphic Bar No-decompression Limit
0 bars NDL exceeded
1 bar 0–5 min
2 bars 5–15 min
3 bars 15–30 min
4 bars 30–60 min
5 bars > 60 min
