5 Complete a dive with MB levels
A dive with MB levels is completed the same way as a dive without MB levels
(L0) (-> 24), save for the following exceptions:
If the MB level has been reduced during the dive, Smart Z will display a flashing
MB level symbol and the current MB level for five minutes after reaching the
surface. The dive is then completed and Smart Z changes to user mode with
the MB level switching back to the original MB setting.
Repetitive dives and microbubble levels: If during a dive a level stop is being
ignored and the diver starts another descent shortly afterwards, Smart Z might
immediately request level stops. To complete the dive with the initially set MB
level all level stops must be observed.
4.4 Level stop and deco stop
When the level stop depth equals the
depth of the first obligatory decompres-
sion stop and if you are within 1.5m/5feet
of the stop depth itself, Smart Z shows
DECOSTOP
and
LEVELSTOP
. The indicated
duration refers to level stop duration.
Since level stops are more restrictive
than decompression stops, when all
decompression obligations have been
observed the display changes from
DECOSTOP
LEVELSTOP
to
LEVELSTOP
only.
