risk.
EMERGENCY DECOMPRESSION
If your depth or bottom time is such that the Tissue Loading Bar Graph
enters the red zone, the DataMax Pro will sound one double beep and switch
to “Decompression Dive Mode.” At this point, the TLBG will indicate a
decompression “ceiling” (Fig. 5a) that the diver must stay below or risk
decompression sickness. Dive Time Remaining (Fig. 5b) will display the total
time needed to exit decompression. You must stay a few feet below the TLBG
indicated ceiling depth until the bar graph recedes into the yellow Caution
Zone before ascending any further.
PLANNING FOR THE NEXT DIVE
After reaching three feet upon ascent, the Surface Mode will display once
again. It alternates with the PDPS and will show adjusted no-decompression
limits based on the nitrogen absorbed during your last dive. The longer the
surface interval, the more dive time available in the PDPS.
IT’S REALLY JUST THAT SIMPLE!
The DataMax Pro is designed to help you stay out of trouble with a
minimum of effort reading the displays. The Graphic Diver Interface elimi-
nates any confusion from looking at too many numbers. Just “keep it in the
green” and you’ll greatly reduce your exposure to decompression sickness.
