guarantee against the occurrence of decompression sickness, you may choose
your own personal zone of caution based upon age, physique, excessive weight,
etc., to reduce the statistical risk.
The Tissue Loading Bar Graph assists you with managing decompression by
filling a large red 'ceiling stop required' segment (Fig. 5b). Decompression is
explained in detail in the Handling the Extremes section.
Prior to a repetitive nitrox dive, if all segments of the Tissue Loading Bar
Graph are displayed during the Pre Dive Planning Sequence™, and no seg-
ments of the O2 bar graph are displayed (Fig. 6), that next dive is calculated to
be controlled by nitrogen loading.
WARNING: Oceanic advocates responsible diving practices
consistent with your individual level of formal training and ex-
perience, and does not recommend decompression diving or
diving below 130 feet (39 m).
Oxygen Accumulation (O2) Bar Graph
NOTE: Displays associated with oxygen and the O2 bar graph
will only appear if FO2 has been set at a value other than 'Air'.
The Oxygen Accumulation (O2) Bar Graph (Fig. 7) represents oxygen loading,
