4.28.4. Bailouts

If at any point during a rebreather dive you suspect a malfunction of any sort, you should

switch to a bailout gas and abort the dive.

To change to a bailout gas:

1. Keep the middle button pressed to enter the main menu.

2. Scroll to OC gases and select with the middle button.

3. Scroll to the desired bailout gas and select with the middle button.

After a bailout gas is selected, the setpoint field is replaced with the pO

value of the selected

open-circuit gas.

If the malfunction is rectified or the dive situation otherwise normalizes, you can switch back

to a diluent using the same procedure as described above, but selecting from CC gases.

You have the possibility to reset tissue compartments, that is, to clear the data regarding the

residual nitrogen and helium after a dive. After tissue reset, previous dives have no effects on

dive algorithm calculations. See 5.10. How to reset tissues for details on tissue reset.

Safety stop and deepstop ceilings are always at constant depth when you are at the stop.

Safety stop and deepstop times are counted down in minutes and seconds.

Safety stop

There are two types of safety stops: voluntary and mandatory. Safety stop is mandatory if

ascent speed violation happened during the dive. Mandatory safety stop is shown in red,

while voluntary safety stop is indicated with yellow.

A three (3) minute safety stop is always recommended for every dive over 10 meters (33 ft).

The time for a safety stop is calculated when you are between 2.4 and 6 m (7.9 and 19.8 ft).

This is presented with up/down arrows on the left side of the stop depth value. Safety stop

time is shown in minutes and seconds. The time may exceed three (3) minutes if you ascend

too fast during dive. Ascent speed violation increases safety stop time with minimum 30

seconds. If violations happened several times, the additional stop time is longer. Safety stops

can be set to three (3), four (4), or five (5) minutes.

Voluntary safety stop is shown in yellow:

Mandatory safety stop is shown in red:
