Rather than requiring you to mak e stops at xed
depths, the di ve comput er lets you to decompress
within a range of depths (Continuous Decompres-
sion).
The ascent time (ASC TIME) is the minimum amount
of time needed to reach the surface in a decompres-
sion dive. It includes:
the time needed to ascend to the ceiling at an
ascent rate of 10 m/min [33 ft/min]
plus
the time needed at the ceiling. The ceiling
is the shallowest depth to which you should
ascend
plus
the time needed at the Mandatory Safety Stop
(if any)
plus
the 3 minute Recommended Safety Stop
plus
the time needed to reach the surface after the
ceiling and safety stops have been completed.
WARNING!
YOUR ACTUAL ASCENT TIME MAY BE
LONGER THAN DISPLAYED BY THE IN-
STRUMENT! The ascent time will increase if
you:
- remain at depth
- ascend slower than 10 m/min [33 ft/min]
or
- make your decompression stop deeper
than at the ceiling.
These factors will also increase the amount of air
required to reach the surface.
