DECOMPRESSION
AERIS dive computers are sophisticated instruments designed with capabilities that go
beyond the range of recreational diving with compressed air. They can help you to avoid
and, if necessary, manage decompression.
Managing Decompression Stops
You should stay slightly deeper than the required Deco Stop Depth indicated until the next
shallower Stop Depth appears. Then, you can slowly ascend to, but not shallower than,
that indicated Stop Depth.
The amount of decompression credit time that you receive while at a decompression stop
is dependent on depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper you are below the stop
depth indicated.
Once all required decompression has been completed, the dive computer will switch to the
No Decompression Dive Mode, as indicated by Total Ascent Time = 0:00 (min), and the
NIBG receding into the No Decompression zone.
DTR then appears, displaying NDC, or OTR, or ATR, whichever applies depending on the
configuration of your dive computer.
