ascending shallower than 2.4 m will trigger red arrows in the window indicator. If the stop is
non-mandatory, only the yellow arrow is used.
If the depth goes below 6 m (20 ft), the safety stop timer will stop and resume counting once
you are again inside the safety stop window. Once the timer shows zero, the stop is done and
you can ascend to the surface.
NOTE: If you ignore the safety stop, there will be no penalty. However, Suunto always
recommends that you perform a safety stop for every dive to minimize the risk of DCI.
5.8.2. Decompression dives
When you exceed the no-decompression limit, Suunto Ocean provides the decompression
information required for ascending. Ascent information is always presented with two values:
•
Decompression time (also referred to as Time to surface): optimum ascent time in minutes
to surface with given gases
•
Ceiling: depth that you should not go above
WARNING: NEVER ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING! You must not ascend above the
ceiling during your decompression. In order to avoid doing so by accident, you should stay
somewhat below the ceiling.
Once the No deco time is at 0 min, the display area will change to show the Deco time, the
ceiling value will be displayed in the switch window and the arch will turn to orange indicating
the same deco time. An alarm is also triggered that can be
confirmed with any button press.
Deco time is referring to the recommended ascent time in minutes to the surface (TTS).
