Suunto Zoop [25/73] Decompression dives

Suunto Zoop [25/73] Decompression dives
23
When the maximum allowed ascent rate is exceeded,
the fifth SLOW warning segment and the STOP
sign appear and the depth reading starts to blink,
indicating that the maximum ascent rate has been
exceeded continuously or that the current ascent rate
is significantly above the allowed rate.
Whenever the SLOW warning segment and the STOP
sign appear (Fig. 3.12.), you should immediately
slow down your ascent. When you reach the depth
zone between 6 m to 3 m [20 ft to 10 ft] the STOP
and CEILING depth labels will advise you to make
a Mandatory Safety Stop. Wait until the warning
disappears (Fig. 3.13.). You should not ascend shal-
lower than 3 m [10 ft] with the Mandatory Safety
Stop warning on.
WARNING!
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ASCENT
RATE! Rapid ascents increase the risk of injury.
You should always make the Mandatory and
Recommended Safety Stops after you have ex-
ceeded the maximum recommended ascent rate.
If this Mandatory Safety Stop is not completed
the decompression model will penalize your next
dive(s).
Decompression dives3.3.5.
When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your
dive becomes a decompression stop dive, i.e. you
must perform one or several decompression stops
on your way to the surface. The NO DEC TIME
on your display will be replaced by an ASC TIME
notation and the maximum depth will be replaced by
a CEILING notation and an upward pointing arrow
(Fig. 3.15.).
If you exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive,
the dive computer will provide decompression infor-
mation required for ascent. After this, the instrument
will continue to provide subsequent interval and
repetitive dive information.

SLOW and four segments are
shown together with an audible
alarm: ascent rate is more than
10 m/min [33 ft/min]. This is
a caution to slow down! STOP
sign means that you are advised
to make a Mandatory Safety
Stop when you reach a depth of
6 m [20 ft].
