No Deco Deep Stop
On any No Deco dive in which Depth exceeds 80 FT (24 M), a
Deep Stop Preview screen (Fig. 55) can be accessed that will
display the graphic DS (meaning Deep Stop) and a recom-
mended Stop Depth calculated to be 1/2 the Max Depth and a
Stop Time of 02:00 (2 minutes) with DS and STOP icons. It will
revert to the Main after 5 seconds.
• The intent of this screen is to suggest that a Stop should be
made as indicated to help reduce tissue nitrogen loading
prior to final ascent.
• The Preview screen will not be available for viewing once
you ascend above the Stop Depth.
NOTE: The Deep Stop is not required and al-
though recommended, it does not have to be
taken. There is no penalty if the Stop is ignored
and ascent (or other activity) is continued.
Upon ascending to within 10 FT (3 M) below the calculated Stop
Depth, the DS Main screen (Fig. 56) will appear displaying the
calculated Stop Depth with FT (or M), DS, and STOP icons and
the Timer that counts down from 02:00 to 0:00 (min:sec) with
clock icon. Also displayed will be NDC (hr:min) with wave/
clock/profile mode icon, Tank icon (Gas 1 or 2), current Depth
with FT (or M) icon, and applicable bar graphs.
