AVOIDING AND MANAGING DECOMPRESSION

The Data Plus 2 is a sophisticated instrument designed with capabilities that
go beyond the range of recreational diving with compressed air. It will help
you to avoid and, if necessary, manage decompression.
TISSUE LOADING BAR GRAPH ™
The Tissue Loading Bar Graph offers you a convenient way to consistently
monitor how close you are coming to the No Decompression Limit. As you use
the Data Plus 2 and become familiar with the Tissue Loading Bar Graph, you
will notice that it displays fewer segments for shorter dive times and shallower
depths. Use this feature to adjust conservatism to your diving needs.
Use the yellow Caution (C.Z.) Zone (Fig. 52a) as a visual reference to
place a wider margin of protection between you and the No Decom-
pression Limit.
Oceanic suggests keeping the Tissue Loading Bar Graph in the green No De-
compression (NO DECO) zone during all of your dives, and that it be in the
green when leaving the water.
