[. . . ] The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by a flashing notation CEILING/ ASC TIME (Fig. 3. 13). 31 WARNING! YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN DECOMPRESSION IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOWS YOU THAT DECOMPRESSION IS REQUIRED!The ascent time (ASC TIME) is the minimum amount of minutes needed to reach the surface in a decompression dive. It includes: The time needed to ascend to the ceiling at an ascent rate of 10 m/min [33 ft/min] plus The time needed at the ceiling. The ceiling is the shallowest depth to which you should ascend plus The time needed to reach the surface after the ceiling has been removed. WARNING! YOUR ACTUAL ASCENT TIME MAY BE LONGER THAN DISPLAYED ON THE DIVE COMPUTER. The ascent time will increase if you: remain at depth ascend slower than 10 m/min [33 ft/min] or make your decompression stop deeper than at the ceiling. These factors will also increase the amount of air required to reach the surface. In order to avoid doing so by accident, you should stay slightly below the ceiling. The ceiling zone is the shallowest depth range to which you should ascend when in decompression. DISPLAY BELOW CEILING ZONE The CEILING/ASC TIME symbol and upwards pointing arrow indicate that you are below the ceiling zone (Fig. 3. 14 DECOMPRESSION DIVE, AT THE CEILING ZONE The two arrows (a) point at each other (hour glass). You are at the ceiling zone at 3. 5 m [11 ft] (c) and your minimum ascent time is 3 minutes (d). The ceiling is at 3 m [10 ft] (b). A S C R A T E DISPLAY AT CEILING ZONE When you reach the ceiling zone, the display will show you two arrows pointing toward each other (the hour glass icon, Fig. The two arrows pointing toward each other will be shown between the minimum ceiling and 1. 8 m [6 ft] below the minimum ceiling. All decompression stops must be performed at or below the ceiling depth range. It will be fairly shallow when you enter the decompression mode, but if you remain at depth, it will move downward and the ascent time will increase. The ceiling depth will be shown on the left side of the center window. CEILING ASC TIME A1 DIVE TIME C LOG HIS ALT SET PLAN Fig. 3. 15 DECOMPRESSION DIVE, ABOVE CEILING Note the downward pointing arrow and the blinking Er warning. You should immediately (within 3 minutes) descend to or below the ceiling. 33 When the sea surface is rough, it may be difficult to maintain a constant depth near the surface. In this case it will be more manageable to maintain an additional distance below to the ceiling, to make sure that the waves do not lift you above the ceiling. SUUNTO recommends that decompression takes place deeper than 4 m [13 ft], even if the indicated ceiling is shallower. NOTE: It will take more time and more air to decompress below the ceiling than at the ceiling. DISPLAY ABOVE CEILING If you ascend above the ceiling, a downward pointing arrow will appear (Fig 3. 16). In addition a blinking error warning Er reminds you that you have only three minutes to correct the situation. If you continue to violate the decompression requirements, the dive computer goes into a permanent ERROR MODE.
