If you continue to violate the Mandatory Safety Stop, the tissue calculation model is
affected and the dive computer shortens the available no-decompression time for your
next dive. In this situation, it is recommended that you prolong your surface interval
time before your next dive.
5.11. Deep stops
Deep stops are safety stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose
of minimizing microbubble formation and excitation.
The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stops iteratively, placing the first stop about
halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first Deep stop
is completed, another Deep stop will be prompted halfway to the ceiling, and so on
until the ceiling depth is reached.
WHEN CEILING AND STOP ARE DISPLAYED
WITH DOWNWARD POINTING ARROW,
IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN 3 MINUTES) DESCEND
TO OR BELOW CEILING.
DURING DESCENT,
YOU'RE SHOWN THAT A
DEEPSTOP IS NEEDED AT
THE DEPTH OF 16 M.
DURING ASCENT, YOU'RE
ADVICED TO MAKE A DEEP
STOP AT 16 M FOR THE
DURATION SHOW BY THE
TIMER (42 S REMAINING).
