by the Pro Plus, and it takes into account the breathing gas required for a safe
ascent including any required decompression stops.
The green, yellow, and red zones adjacent to the bar graph enable you to
quickly focus on remaining breathing gas times of 60 minutes or less, based on
your pre selected End Gas Alarm Set Point. The bar graph is more precise as
time remaining decreases toward the red zone.
DIVE TIME REMAINING
One of the most important pieces of information on the Pro Plus is the 'Dive
Time Remaining numeric display'. The Pro Plus constantly monitors three
critical pieces of information; no decompression status, oxygen accumulation
status, and rate of breathing gas consumption. The Dive Time Remaining dis-
play will indicate the time that is more critical for you at that particular mo-
ment (i.e.; whichever time is the least amount available of the three). The spe-
cific time being displayed is identified by the No Decompression Dive Time
icon, or the O2 Time icon, or the Gas Time Remaining icon (Fig. 7). This
unique feature has been granted U.S. Patent No. 4,586,136.
No Decompression Dive Time Remaining
No Decompression Dive Time Remaining is the maximum amount of time that
you can stay at your present depth before entering a decompression situation.
