Both the UHMS and DAN agree that, “There can never be a flying after
diving rule that is guaranteed to prevent decompression sickness
completely. Rather, there can be a guideline that represents the best
estimate for a conservative
. . . surface interval for the vast majority of divers. There will always be an
occasional diver whose physiological makeup or special diving circumstances
will result in the bends.”
The Time to Fly display (Fig. 20) provides a way to choose your own
degree of protection by providing a 24 hour countdown sequence which is
activated upon surfacing from a dive. The display is first shown 10 minutes
after start of the pre dive planning sequence indicating the word “FLY” and a
digital countdown from 24 to 0 hours. The TLBG will be displayed during the
first 12 hours. During the last 12 hours the countdown can be deactivated
and subsequent diving continued by pressing the activation button to reacti-
vate the PRODIGY.
