You will see that the total dive time on Level 2 is 30 minutes, while the total dive time on Level 0 is 23
minutes. We recommend that you dive on the default Level 2 setting unless you are familiar with
decompression theory in general, the specifics of the Bühlmann ZH-L16C model, including Gradient
Factors. You can learn more about these topics by referring to the works listed in our
Bibliography .
The
PO2 Settings
Dive PO2 and Deco PO2 menu items allow you to set the maximum allowable partial pressure of
oxygen for the gas you are breathing. The default (and maximum) value for your Dive PO2 is 1.40,
while the default (and maximum) value for your Deco PO2 is 1.60. Should you exceed those values at
any time during your dive, your Gas label in the dive screen will start flashing, and alternating with the
PO2 alarm.
If you begin your final ascent within the No Decompression Limit time, you will be asked to complete
a safety stop for 3 minutes at 5m / 15ft. If, at any time during these 3 minutes, you drop below 6.5m /
21ft, the safety stop counter will turn off and reset. It will begin again once you return to the safety stop
depth of 5m / 15ft. The safety stop is optional. If you skip the safety stop, you will not be penalized.
Safety Stop/Deco Stops
If you exceed the NDL, then your KAON will automatically start computing your decompression plan
and will suggest decompression stops accordingly. It will NOT suggest a mandatory safety stop in this
scenario, as the safety requirements should be fulfilled by following the decompression stops.
During the dive, your KAON calculates your CNS (Central Nervous
System) and OTU (Oxygen Toxicity Unit) loading. Your current CNS/OTU
levels are easy to access through the
Oxygen Loading
Your Saturation menu item and the
screen looks like this.
For a full explanation of CNS/OTU values, please refer to your nitrox
training manual.
