the time needed at the ceiling. The ceiling is the shal-
•
lowest depth to which you should ascend
plus
the time needed at the Mandatory Safety Stop (if any)
•
plus
the time needed to reach the surface after the ceiling
•
and safety stops have been completed.
WARNING!
YOUR ACTUAL ASCENT TIME MAY BE LONGER THAN
DISPLAYED BY THE INSTRUMENT! The ascent time will in-
crease if you:
-
remain at depth
-
ascend slower than 10 m/min [33 ft/min] or
-
make your decompression stop deeper than at the
ceiling.
These factors will also increase the amount of air required to
reach the surface.
