tified by a recognized training agency to teach diving with nitrox.

The DataTrans Plus is not intended for use by military or commercial

divers.

WARNING: In the event that you exceed the maximum limit of

per dive allowable oxygen exposure, it is recommended that you

allow a surface interval of at least 2 hours before reentering the

water. If you exceed the maximum limit of 24 hour period al-

lowable oxygen exposure, you should allow a surface interval of

at least 24 hours before reentering the water.

MULTIPLE TISSUE TRACKING

The DataTrans Plus tracks twelve tissue compartments with halftimes ranging

from 5 to 480 minutes. The Tissue Loading Bar Graph always displays the

controlling compartment that is the only one important at that time. Think of

the Tissue Loading Bar Graph as twelve separate transparent displays laid on

top of one another (Fig. 112). The tissue compartment that has filled up fast-

est is the only one the viewer can see from the top.

At any particular point, one tissue compartment may be absorbing nitrogen,

while another that was previously higher may be off-gassing. Figure 113 illus-

compartment at a different depth. This feature of the Decompression Model is
