DIVE TIME REMAINING
One of the most important pieces of information on the ReACT Pro is the patented Dive Time
Remaining numeric display. To numerically display Dive Time Remaining, the ReACT Pro con-
stantly monitors two critical pieces of information; no decompression status and oxygen accumu-
lation status. The Dive Time Remaining display will indicate the time that is more critical for
you at that particular moment (i.e.; whichever time is the least amount available of the two).
This unique feature has been granted U.S. Patent No. 4,586,136.
No Decompression Dive Time Remaining
No Decompression Dive Time Remaining is the maximum amount of time that you can stay at
your present depth before entering a decompression situation. It is calculated based on the
amount of nitrogen absorbed by twelve hypothetical tissue compartments. The rates each of these
compartments absorb and release nitrogen is mathematically modeled and compared against a
maximum allowable nitrogen level. Whichever one of the twelve is closest to this maximum
level is the controlling compartment for that depth. Its resulting value will be displayed numeri-
cally with the NDL symbol (Fig. 77a) and graphically as the Nitrogen Bar Graph.
As you ascend from depth following a dive that has approached the no decompression limit, the
Nitrogen Bar Graph will recede as control shifts to slower compartments. This is a feature of the
decompression model that is the basis for multilevel diving, one of the most important advan-
tages the ReACT Pro offers.
