Complications; Decompression Entry; Decompression Stop Main - Sherwood Scuba SAGE Manual

The preceding information has described standard dive operations. Your new Sage is also designed to help you to the surface in less than ideal situ-
ations. The following is a description of these situations. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these operations before diving your Sage.
DECOMPRESSION
Decompression (deco) mode activates when theoretical No Decompression time (Safe Minutes) and depth limits are exceeded. Upon entry into
deco, the audible alarm will sound. The full N2 bar Graph, Up Arrow icons, and DECO ENTRY message will flash until the audible is silenced or
after 10 seconds.
• Once within 10 ft (3 m) below the required Stop Depth (stop zone), the DECO STOP message will be displayed solid.
To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe controlled ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the required stop
depth indicated and decompress for the stop time indicated. The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is dependent on Depth, with
slightly less credit given the deeper you are below the Stop Depth indicated. You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth indicated
until the next shallower Stop Depth appears. Then you can slowly ascend to that indicated Stop Depth but not shallower.

DECOMPRESSION ENTRY

Upon entry into decompression (deco) the audible alarm will sound until it is silenced or after 10 seconds. The message DECO ENTRY, up arrows,
and full N2 Bar Graph icons will flash. Additionally, the stop depth and stop time values will be displayed. TAS (Total Ascent Time) will replace Dive
Time on the Main screen. Dive Time will be viewable from the Deco Alt 1 screen which can be accessed by pressing the ADV button.

DECOMPRESSION STOP MAIN

Decompression (deco) Stop Main will display upon ascending to within 3 m (10 ft) below the Deco Stop depth. The message DECO STOP will be
displayed solid. While Deco Stop Main is displayed, you may access up to 2 ALT displays by pressing the ADV button to cycle through them. They
are similar to the No Deco Main, Dive ALT 1, and Dive ALT 2 displays, respectively.
