WARNING: Never exit the water with the TLBG in the red
decompression zone. Doing so greatly increases the risk of
decompression sickness, and may result in injury or death.
A diver’s metabolism varies from person to person, and even from day to day.
If you are feeling slightly less than 100%, or you are in less than perfect
physical shape, use the Caution Zone as a visual reference to place a wider
margin of protection between you and the no-decompression limit.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR DIVE COMPUTER QUITS WORKING
Because a dive computer is an electronic, battery powered instrument,
the possibility that it may quit working unexpectedly is very real - even with
new, highest quality batteries. While no-decompression diving, if you find
that any major piece of equipment is not working, you must abort the dive
immediately and surface slowly in a controlled manner. If your dive com-
puter quits for any reason, it is important that you have anticipated this
possibility and are prepared for it. This is an important reason to avoid
pushing your dive profiles to the limit, in order to allow a safety margin. If
you ever extend your dive profiles to the maximum limit, Oceanic advises you
to bring additional backup instruments with you on your dives, and to log
each dive profile during every surface interval.
Consider the cost to benefit ratio. No other piece of diving equipment
gives you additional dive time like a dive computer. It is now possible to dive
