DECOMPRESSION DIVES
When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive becomes a decompression
stop dive, i.e. you must perform one or several decompression stops on your way
to the surface. The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by a CEILING
and blinking ASC TIME notation and an upward pointing arrow (Fig. 3.17.).
If you exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive, the dive computer will
provide decompression information required for ascent. After this, the instrument
will continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.
Rather than requiring you to make stops at fi xed depths, the dive computer gives
you the option to decompress with a more gradual and natural series of mini steps
within the decompression range (continuous decompression).
