If the malfunction is rectified or the dive situation otherwise normalizes, you can switch back
to a diluent using the same procedure as below, but selecting from CC gases.

3.26. Safety stops and deepstops

A three (3) minute safety stop is always recommended for every dive over 10 meters (19.7 ft).
The time for a safety stop is calculated when you are between 2.4 and 6 m (7.9 and 19.7 ft).
This is presented with up/down arrows in front of the stop depth. The safety stop time is
shown in minutes and seconds. The time may exceed three (3) minutes if you ascend too fast
during dive.
