In such a condition, you should descend back below the ceiling level
to continue the decompression. If you fail to do so within three (3)
minutes, Suunto Zoop Novo locks the algorithm calculation and
displays ER instead, as shown below. Note that the ceiling value is
no longer present.
In this state, you significantly increase your risk of decompression
sickness (DCS). Decompression information is not available for the
next 48 hours after surfacing.
It is possible to dive with the device when the algorithm is locked,
but instead of the decompression information, ER is shown.
If you dive again in this error state, the algorithm lock time resets to
48 hours when you surface.

There are several factors that can affect your susceptibility to DCS.
Such factors vary between divers and from one day to another.
The personal factors which tend to increase the possibility of DCS
include:
•
exposure to cold water - less than 20°C (68 °F)
•
below average physical fitness level
•
fatigue
•
dehydration
•
stress
•
obesity
•
patent foramen ovale (PFO)
•
exercise before or after dive
