Deco time: If exceeding the NDL time, an alarm is triggered and the NDL time is replaced with
the optimum ascent time in minutes (TTS). A Deco badge appears, the NDL arch turns to
orange indicating the same TTS time, and the ceiling value appears in the switch window. The
ceiling value indicates the decompression stop depth. An alarm is also triggered that can be
confirmed by pressing any button. Read more about decompression diving in 5.8.2.
Decompression dives.
Stop time: If a safety stop or deco stop is required during the dive, the NDL or decompression
information is replaced with a stop timer counting down the required stop time in minutes and
seconds. The stop depth range will be indicated in the depth area. Once the stop is
completed, Stop done is displayed in the switch window. You can adjust the safety stop time
to be 3, 4 or 5 minutes (the default length is 3 minutes) in the Algorithm settings.
Ascent rate:
During a dive, the bar in the middle of the screen indicates how fast you are ascending. One
bar step corresponds to 2 m (6.6 ft) per minute.
The bar is color coded to show the following:
•
Gray indicates ascent rate is less than 2 m (6.6 ft) per minute
•
Green indicates ascent rate is between 4 m (13 ft) per minute and 8 m (26 ft) per minute
•
Yellow indicates ascent rate is over 8 m (26 ft) per minute
