IMMEDIATE VIOLATION AND VIOLA GAUGE MODE
If a Decompression Ceiling Stop Depth much greater than 60 FT
(18 M) is required, an Immediate Violation Mode will be en-
tered. This situation would be preceded by entering Delayed
Violation Mode #2.
The VT3 would then operate in Violation Gauge Mode during
the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing.
Violation Gauge Mode turns the VT3 into a digital instrument
without any decompression or oxygen monitoring functions.
