NOTE: Omitting mandatory safety stop does not lock the dive algorithm.
Deepstop
Deepstops activate only when you dive deeper than 20 m (66 ft). During ascend, deepstops
activate when you are halfway up from your maximum depth. Deepstops are presented like
safety stops. You are in the deepstop area when the deepstop depth has up/down arrows in
front of it and deepstop time is running. The deepstop window is +/- 1.5 m (4.9 ft). Calculation
starts at deepstop target depth plus 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Calculation ends - 3 m (- 10 ft) away from
deepstop depth.
There can be more than one deepstop during ascend. For example, if you dive to 42 m (137.8
ft), the
first deepstop is prompted at 21 m (68.9 ft) and the second is at 10.5 m (34.4 ft) The
second deepstop is 2 minutes long.
In the following example the diver dives down to maximum 30.4 m (99.7 ft) and has a
deepstop at 15.2 m (49.9 ft):
Below 20.0 m (66 ft), deepstop gets activated. In this case, as the diver ascends, the
deepstop is necessary at halfway of the maximum depth, so at 15.2 m (49.9 ft).
If the deepstop depth is 15.2 m (49.9 ft), the calculation starts at 15.7 m (51.5 ft) and stops at
12.2 m (40.0 ft). The deepstop window is 1.5 m (4.9 ft) and when the diver is within the
deepstop window, it is indicated with two white arrows pointing at each other on the display.
