N/A
OTUs are an exponential function of oxygen partial pressure. The time-
dependent limit varies with the number of days that the diver continues to dive
without full recovery. The recovery portion of the whole body effect algorithm is a
linear reduction of OTUs over time. The Mission OTU Clock continues running
as it tracks cumulative Oxygen exposure. Depending on frequency of dives and
other determining factors, as well as between-dive recovery time, this clock may
run for several weeks. The clock resets to 0:00 when the OTU level has dropped
to 0.
Symptoms of Pulmonary O
2
Toxicity include burning in the throat and chest,
coughing, and shortness of breath. Should any of these symptoms be
experienced, discontinue diving immediately and consult a Doctor.
NOTE: While most other audible alarms of the dive computer consist
of five long beeps, the OTU, PO
2
, and CNS audible alarm consists of
short double-beeps that sound for five seconds.
WARNING: It is possible in certain diving circumstances to reach an
Oxygen Toxicity limit well before reaching a no-decompression limit.
For this reason and many others, only a diver who has successfully
completed a sanctioned REBREATHER diving course from a
recognized training and certifying agency should conduct
REBREATHER diving.
