DECOMPRESSION DIVE MODE
The XP 5 is designed to help you by providing a representa-
tion of how close you are to entering decompression. De-
compression Dive Mode activates when theoretical No
Decompression time/depth limits are exceeded.
Entry into Decompression Dive Mode
(Fig. 47)
Upon entering Decompression Mode, the Audible Alarm will
sound for 30 seconds, or until acknowledged.
At that time, you should begin a safe controlled ascent to a
depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the Required Ceiling
Stop Depth indicated (Fig. 47a) and decompress for the
Stop Time indicated (Fig. 47b).
• The UP Arrow and Deco Bar will flash if you are greater
than 10ft (3m) deeper than the Ceiling Stop Depth.
• While within 10ft (3m) of, and below, the Stop Depth,
both Arrows and the Bar appear solid.
Other information includes:
• Current Depth (Fig. 47c).
• Total Ascent Time (Fig. 47d) - which includes Stop
Times required at all ceilings and vertical Ascent Time
calculated at 60 ft (18 m) per minute for depths deeper
than 60 ft (18 m), and 30 ft (9 m) per minute for depths of
60 ft (18 m) and shallower.
