VIOLATION MODES
If you exceed certain limits, the DataMax Sport will not be able to tell you

for 24 hours after the last dive of a day in which a violation occurred.
There are three different types of Violation Modes that the DataMax
Sport can enter depending on the situation. They are termed “Conditional
Violation Mode,” “Delayed Violation Mode,” and “Immediate Violation
Mode.” It is important to understand how each of these modes function and
how to carry out decompression procedures in the event you encounter one.
