Warnings while in dive mode
While in dive mode, there are several warnings that you should
be alert to.
Decompression warning
If you exceed the no-decompression limits, the computer enters
decompression mode. An audible alarm sounds for three seconds
indicating that you have decompression stop requirements.
Caution: Decompression diving is considered to substantially
increase your risk of decompression illness more than dives
made within no-decompression limits.

stop depth.
(3) Required stop time: This is the time you must remain at the

(4) Total ascent time: This is the total amount of time (in
