DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The decompression models used are based on no decompression multi level repetitive dive
schedules successfully tested and validated.
Using an AERIS dive computer, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) De-
compression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness.
Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine
can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
NITROGEN LOADING BAR GRAPH (NIBG)
The NIBG offers you a convenient way to consistently monitor how close you are coming
to the No Decompression Limit. As you use your dive computer and become familiar with
the NIBG, you will notice that it displays fewer segments for shorter dive times and shal-
lower depths. Use this feature to adjust conservatism to your diving needs. Select models
also feature a Setting that allows a Conservative Factor to be added that reduces No De-
compression Times.
Use the No Deco Caution Zone as a visual reference to place a wider
margin of protection between you and the No Deco Limit.
AERIS suggests that the NIBG should always be in the No Decompression zone when leav-
ing the water.
