CAUTION ZONE (C.Z.)
Your dive training taught you not to get too close to the No Decompression
limits. The yellow Caution Zone (C.Z.) of the Tissue Loading Bar Graph (Fig.
89) offers you a convenient way to consistently monitor how close you are com-
ing to the No Decompression limit. Oceanic suggests always leaving the water
with the Tissue Loading Bar Graph in the green No Decompression (NO
DECO) zone.
WARNING: Never exit the water with the Tissue Loading Bar
Graph in the red decompression (DECO) zone. Doing so greatly
increases the risk of decompression sickness, and may result in
injury or death.
Body metabolism varies from person to person, and even from day to day. If
you are feeling slightly less than 100%, or you are in less than perfect physical
shape, use the yellow Caution Zone as a visual reference to place a
wider margin of protection between you and the No Decompression
limit.
