The 5-step dive model allows you to set your personal adjustment mode. Some of the personal factors
that could affect susceptibility of a diver to decompression illness include:
•
Cold water – temperature less than 20
•
Physical fitness level
•
Fatigue
•
Hydration level
•
Stress
•
Obesity
•
Previous history of decompression illness

Deep stops
Deep Stops are decompression stops that occur deeper than the traditional safety stop, with the purpose
of minimizing micro bubble formation and excitation.
You can choose the RGBM deep stop algorithm in addition to the traditional recommended safety stop.
Traditionally, for every dive deeper than 8 meters (26 feet), the diver should make a safety stop for 3
minutes between 3-6 meters (9-19 feet).
The RGBM model calculates deep stop iteratively, placing the first stop about halfway between the
maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first deep stop is completed, another deep stop will be
prompted halfway to the ceiling and so on when the last deep stop is placed at 5 meters (17 feet) for 2
minutes.
The duration of each deep stop is increased by one minute from one deep stop to another, with the first
deep stop duration being one minute.
When you enable Deep Stops, the traditional recommended safety stop is applied for a dive of less than
30 meters (98 feet). For dives deeper than 30 meters (98 feet), the Deep Stop algorithm is applied in
addition to the traditionally safety stop.
NOTE: Deep Stops improve the diver safety. While ignoring these stops will not result in penalty during
repetitive dives we strongly recommend that the diver use these stops.
