Fig. 3.20. Decompression dive, 
above ceiling. Note downward 
pointing arrow, Er warning and 
an audible alarm. You should 
immediately (within 3 minutes) 
descend to or below ceiling.

only after the ASC TIME and CEILING labels have 
disappeared, which means that the decompression stop 
and any Mandatory Safety Stop has been completed. 
You are advised, however, to stay until the STOP sign 
has also gone. This indicates that the three minute 
Recommended Safety Stop has also been completed.

DISPLAY ABOVE THE CEILING

If you ascend above the ceiling during a decompression 
stop, a downward pointing arrow will appear and a 
continuous beeping starts (Fig. 3.20.). In addition, 
an error warning Er reminds you that you have only 
three minutes to correct the situation. You must 
immediately descend to or below the ceiling.

If you continue to violate the decompression, the 
dive computer goes into a permanent Error Mode. In 
this mode the instrument can only be used as a depth 
gauge and timer. You must not dive again for at least 
48 hours (see chapter 3.2.5.).
