Diving with microbubble (MB) levels
8.1 Comparison of dives with MB level L0 and MB level L5
When two XP-H are used simultaneously, one unit is set for example to MB level L5, the other to L0,
the no-stop time will be shortened and level stops will be required before the diver has the obligation of
a decompression stop. These additional level stops help dissipate the microbubbles.
