(2) Desaturation time:
This is the amount of time, expressed in
hours and minutes, that must pass before the residual nitrogen
levels drop to a point where subsequent dives are treated as a
single (non-repetitive) dive. This is not the same as “time to fly.”
(3) O2 OLI bar graph:
This indicates CNS toxicity level at the
end of the dive. This drops as your surface interval time
increases.
(4) Nitrogen (N2) exposure bar graph:
This is the amount of
residual nitrogen in your body at the end of the dive. This drops
as your surface interval time increases.
WARNING:
It is recommended that you wait at least 24-hours
following any dive before flying in an aircraft or driving to
altitude. Failure to allow sufficient surface interval time before
doing so may increase your risk of decompression illness (DCI).
To view surface interval and desaturation time:
1. While in time mode, press and hold Select.
The screen switches showing desaturation time and surface
interval time.
2. Release Select to return to time mode.
