3.2.3. Safety Stop Displays

Two different type of safety stops are being displayed
in this dive computer: Recommended Safety Stop and
Mandatory Safety Stop.
The STOP label indicates:
• Recommended Safety Stop 3 minute
countdown in the range of 3 m - 6 m
[10 ft - 20 ft].
• Mandatory Safety Stop Indicator deeper
than 6 m [20 ft].
• Mandatory Safety Stop Time display with
the CEILING label in the range of
3 m - 6 m [10 ft - 20 ft].
RECOMMENDED SAFETY STOP
SUUNTO highly recommends a safety stop at the
end of every dive in the range of 3 m - 6 m [10 ft
- 20 ft] for at least 3 minutes. This is shown with
the STOP sign and a three-minute countdown in
the center window instead of the no-decompression
time (Fig. 3.10).
MANDATORY SAFETY STOP
When the maximum allowed ascent rate is exceeded
continuously the dive computer highly recommends
an extra-prolonged Mandatory Safety Stop in the
range of 3 m - 6 m [10 ft - 20 ft] for the calculated
period. In this case the STOP sign will appear in the
display and when you reach the depth zone between 6
m to 3 m [20 ft to 10] also the CEILING label, depth
and the calculated Safety Stop time appear in the
display. You should wait until the Mandatory Safety
Stop warning disappears (Fig. 3.14).
