After confirming the surface interval (if possible), no-stop times are displayed in
3 metre-increments. The process starts with 9 metres. The no-stop time for every
3 metre-increment is displayed for about 3 seconds (scrolling no-stop times).
No-stop times are displayed to the depth at which the partial pressure of oxygen
(ppO
2
) has not yet reached the set maximum value.
Repetitive dives usually cause more microbubbles in the lungs than on first dives
if the surface interval is not long enough. Too rapid an ascent and/or disregarding
decompression instructions can lead to microbubbles. By calculating the formation
of bubbles, Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox is able to advise the diver to extend the surface
interval if necessary. If <Atn> is displayed instead of the depth in addition to the
no-stop times, the diver should plan an extension of the interval if possible.
– By repeatedly recalling of the diveplan with varying surface intervals the
minimum interval can be determined.
