DECOMPRESSION MODE
Decompression mode activates when theoretical No Decompres-
sion time and depth limits are exceeded.
Upon entry into Deco, the full TLBG will flash (Fig. 45) for 10
seconds. The Up Arrow icon will flash if > 10 FT (3 M) below
the required Stop Depth.
> Once within 10 FT (3 M) below the required Stop Depth
(stop zone), the full Stop icon (both Arrows with Stop Bar)
will be displayed solid.
To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe
controlled Ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to,
the required Stop Depth indicated and decompress for the Stop
Time indicated.
The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is
dependent on Depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper
you are below the Stop Depth indicated.
You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth
indicated until the next shallower Stop Depth appears. Then,
you can slowly ascend to, but not shallower than that indicated
Stop Depth.
