DECOMPRESSION MODE

Decompression mode activates when theoretical No Decompres-

sion time and depth limits are exceeded.  

Upon entry into Deco, the full TLBG will flash (Fig. 45) for 10 

seconds.  The Up Arrow icon will flash if > 10 FT (3 M) below 

the required Stop Depth. 

>  Once within 10 FT (3 M) below the required Stop Depth 

(stop zone), the full Stop icon (both Arrows with Stop Bar) 

will be displayed solid.

To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe 

controlled Ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, 

the required Stop Depth indicated and decompress for the Stop 

Time indicated.

The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is 

dependent on Depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper 

you are below the Stop Depth indicated.  

You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth 

indicated until the next shallower Stop Depth appears.  Then, 

you can slowly ascend to, but not shallower than that indicated 

Stop Depth.
