ASCENDING TO THE SURFACE

While ascending to shallower depths, the segments that have filled up the Tis-

sue Loading Bar Graph will begin to recede (Fig. 36), offering a graphic repre-

sentation of your multilevel diving capability. By 'backing off' on the bar graph

(fewer segments), you can establish a personal level of conservatism and mar-

gin of protection.

If you entered Decompression Mode, you must not complete your ascent until

the Tissue Loading Bar Graph is at least inside the yellow Caution Zone.

If you have not entered Decompression Mode, a safety stop made be-

tween 15-20 feet (5-6.5 meters) is strongly recommended as a stan-

dard procedure before completing your ascent.

You should make every effort to complete all of your ascents with the Tissue

Loading Bar Graph inside of the green zone.

While you cannot provide a guarantee against the occurrence of de-

compression sickness, you may choose your own personal zone of

caution based upon your individual age, physique, excessive weight,

training, experience, etc. to reduce the statistical risk.
