mentary rise above the ceiling, such as with a surge or swell, will cause this
to happen. Therefore you must stay slightly deeper than the exact ceiling
depth, watching the PRODIGY closely when managing decompression. The
PRODIGY will alert you to a Conditional Violation by flashing the
Total Decompression Stop Time display until you descend below the
required decompression ceiling.
Once the PRODIGY enters a Conditional Violation Mode, no off-gassing
credit will be given. For every minute in the Conditional Violation Mode, 1.5
minutes of penalty time is added to decompression stop time for greater
protection.
The PRODIGY will stay in the Conditional Violation Mode for up to 5
minutes of being shallower than the decompression ceiling. After 5 minutes,
it will enter the Delayed Violation Mode (see next section). But, if the Condi-
tional Violation is corrected before 5 minutes have elapsed (meaning you
descend below the ceiling depth), the PRODIGY will continue to function as if
no violation had occurred. In this case, the added penalty decompression time
will have to be “worked-off” first before obtaining off-gassing credit. Once
the penalty time is worked-off, and off–gassing credit begins, the TLBG will
recede towards the Caution Zone. Upon entry into the Caution Zone the
PRODIGY will revert to the No-Decompression Mode.
