4.10. Decompression Stops
There are no Safety Stops in technical diving modes�
Decompression stops are mandatory stops that
must be followed in order to reduce the risk of
decompression illness (DCI)
Decompression stops occur at fixed 10ft (3m)
intervals�
Decompression stops display as follows:

Do not dive beyond your training
Only perform decompression diving if you
have received proper training to do so�
Diving with any type of overhead ceiling,
whether in a cave or shipwreck, or from a
decompression requirement, adds significant
risk� Have a plan to handle failures and never
rely solely on a single source of information�
Deco Stop Violation
If you ascend shallower than your current stop, the
decompression information will
flash red
�
Significant decompression stop violations will result
in a “MISSED STOP” notification� Press any button to
clear this notification�
Deco Stops Complete
By default, the deco clear counter is enabled� Once
all decompression stops are complete, the Deco
Clear counter will begin counting up from zero�
If the Deco Clear Counter is turned off, the display will
say “Clear”�
There is no lock-out or other penalty for
violating decompression stops�
Shearwater’s policy is to provide clear
warnings that the decompression scheduled
was violated, to allow you to make decisions
based on your training�
This may include contacting your dive
insurance provider, contacting the nearest
recompression chamber, or performing first aid
based on your training�
No Lockout for violating deco stops
