6. NO DECOMPRESSION LIMITS CHART
19
On the rubber strap of your CHRIS BENZ model
you can read the decompress-free areas accor-
ding to the „American Navy Diving Manual“.
A no-decompression limit (NDL) is a time limit.
No-decompression limits vary from dive to dive.
A diver who stays underwater longer than the
no-decompression limit for his dive can not
ascend directly to the surface, but must break
periodically as he ascends to avoid a high risk of
decompression sickness. A diver should be never
exceed a no-decompression limit without specia-
lized training in decompression procedures.
ATTENTION: These values serve only
as guideline and do not replace diving
computers!
