Safety and Deep Stops
Even diving within the No-Deco limits, you
may still accrue a safety stop or deep stops.
These are pauses in your ascent that reduce
the likelihood of micro bubble formation and
decompression sickness. Safety stops are
performed at 15 ft (+-5'). Deep stops are similar
to safety stops, but are made at deeper depths.
Do not overstay deep stops as this will
begin to increase your tissue saturation
and your ascent time to the surface. Always
observe all safety and deep stops.
On ascending to within 5 ft. of any prescribed
stop, an alert will sound and the stop depth
window will indicate “At Stop”. The time will
start counting down to zero. The stop will clear
and the next stop (if any) will be displayed.
Straying outside the stop range will trigger an
alert and warning to “Go Up” or “Go Down”.
The top section of the
dive display changes
when a safety, deep,
or decompression stop
is required.
The next required stop
depth and time (min:sec)
are shown in the box
at the top left of the
screen.
No Deco Time is moved
to the upper right of
the screen.
Safety Stops are always
recommended and
indicated in a green box
that will appear when
nearing the surface or
after any deep or safety
stops have cleared.
Deep stops are
indicated in a blue box
as the stops become
required.
