RBT in Deco-stops dives
If your dive requires deco stops (safety stop and deep stop are not considered mandatory deco stops) the RBT is the time
(in minutes) that you can stay at your current depth with your current breath rate, before, considered the time that you will
need to perform the required deco-stops your tank pressure reaches the TANK RES (tank reserve).
E.g. (If TANK RES. = 30 in TRANSMITTER menu and the dive requires mandatory deco stops)
The RBT will be “0” when in your tank there will be enough Bar/psi to let you ascent (with standard speed) and perform the
mandatory deco-stop (deep stops are not considered mandatory deco stops) in order to let you have 30 Bar left in your tank after
the end of your last deco stop.
You can set the TANK RES value (from 10 Bar to 50 Bar) from the TRANSMITTER menu in your iDive/iX3M
WARNING:
The RBT is a pure statistic value!
The iDive/iX3M can not predict behaviors that can alter your breath rate
like anxiety, stress or similar.
It can be used just as a mere statistic information. The RBT can never replace a correct scheduling of the dive and
the knowledge of your physical or mental status.
NEVER use the RBT to extend your dive over the scheduled time.
If you do not know how to schedule a dive, ask your diving instructor!
