IMMEDIATE VIOLATION MODE

WARNING: The DataPlus enters Immediate Violation Mode
when a situation totally exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent
procedure. These dives represent gross excursions into decom-
pression that are beyond the boundaries and spirit of the
DataPlus design. If you are following these dive profiles, Oceanic
advises you not to use a DataPlus dive computer.
Immediate Violation Mode occurs when a Decompression Stop depth much
greater than 60 feet (18 meters) is required. This situation would be
preceded by entering the Delayed Violation Mode previously described.
The DataPlus cannot accurately calculate decompression times for depths much
greater than 60 feet (18 meters) and offers no indication of how much time spent
underwater would result in the need for greater than a 60 foot /18 meter decom-
pression ceiling stop depth. If a ceiling much greater than 60 feet (18 meters) is
required, an Immediate Violation Mode (Fig. 63)) will be entered. The DataPlus
would operate with limited functions (current depth, max depth, and elapsed
dive time) in Gauge Mode during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours
after surfacing.
