When the ascent continues, the GF moves from 30% to 70%. GF 70 indicates the amount of
supersaturation allowed when you get to the surface. The lower the GF High value is, the
longer shallow stop is needed to o-gas before surfacing. In the following illustration, GF High
is set to 70% and the leading tissue compartments react to the 70% limit of M-value.
At this point you can come back to the surface and finish your dive.
GF Low % eect on dive profile is illustrated in the following picture. It shows how GF Low %
determines the depth where the ascent starts slowing down and the depth of the
first
decompression stops. The illustration shows how the dierent GF Low % values change the
depth of the first stop. The higher the GF Low % value is, the shallower the first stop occurs.
