Dive plan mode
Dive plan mode enables you to determine how long you can stay
at various depths while remaining within the no-decompression
limits. The no-decompression time limits are based on the gas
percentage that is set. If you are making a dive within 24 hours
of a previous dive, the no-decompression time limits are based
on the residual nitrogen remaining.
The two most important values that are displayed on the screen
in dive plan mode are the depth and no-decompression time limit
for the gas percentage that is set.

(1) Depth: When you first enter dive plan mode, the initial depth
displayed is 30 feet (9 meters). You can advance the depth in 10-
foot (3 meter) increments. Fourteen different dive plan depth
increments can be displayed to a maximum depth of 157 feet (48
meters).
(2) No-decompression limit (NDL): Depending on the depth
displayed and the current FO2 setting, the available no-
decompression limit, up to a maximum of 200 minutes, is
displayed. If the computer is in FO2 default, a series of
horizontal lines appears.
If the NiTek calculates that there is residual nitrogen present
from previous dives, the available no-decompression limits are
shorter. Depending on how much residual nitrogen is present, no
NDL time may be displayed for some deeper depths. If this takes
place, a series of horizontal lines are displayed. Similarly, for
combinations of depth and FO2 that would cause a diver to
