zone. After 5 minutes of surface time, the PRODIGY will enter an
Immediate Violation and will then revert to the Gauge Mode (see
page 35) for 24 hours.
IMMEDIATE VIOLATION MODE
The PRODIGY enters Immediate Violation Mode when a situation totally
exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent procedure. These dives represent
gross excursions into decompression that are beyond the boundaries and
spirit of the PRODIGY design. If you are following these dive profiles,
Oceanic advises that you do not use a PRODIGY dive computer.
Immediate Violation Mode occurs as follows:
Requiring a Decompression Stop
Much Deeper
than 40 Feet (12 meters)
The PRODIGY cannot calculate decompression ceilings deeper than 40
feet (12 meters). If a ceiling much deeper than 40 feet (12 meters) is re-
quired, Immediate Violation Mode is entered (Fig. 26). This situation would
be preceded by entering the Delayed Violation Mode. The PRODIGY offers no
indication of how much time spent underwater would result in the need for
deeper than a 40 FT (12 M) decompression ceiling. Watch the display closely
to keep from exceeding the TLBG’s capabilities and losing assistance getting
back to the surface.
