Decompression contingency
The EXPLORER is designed for recreational diving without decompression.
All dives however require safety decompression stops to be conducted
(consult your training agency for information).
If you accidentally stray into decompression the system will generate a
green/blue HUD alarm, the decompression stop, and stop time will be
displayed on the STATUS screen. This feature is designed for contingency
purposes only.
!
DANGER: The EXPLORER is not designed for use with gases other
than Nitrox.
! WARNING: Decompression diving significantly increases the risk
of decompression illness.
Various alarms will be generated if elements of decompression are vio-
lated. Please see the Deco States Table below and the EXPLORER flow
charts for further detail.
