SPECIAL
DIVE TABLE AND COMPUTER PROCEDURES
If
you exceed a no decompression limit
or an adjusted no decompression limit
by more than five minutes, 5 metre/15
foot stop for no less than 15 minutes
is strongly urged, air supply permitting,
you must remain out of the water at
least 24 hours before diving again,
due to the excess nitrogen in your body.
When
making a emergency as close to 5 metres/15
feet as possible. If you don't have
enough air for the emergency decompression
stop, stay as long as you can, saving
enough air to surface and exit safely.
Discontinue diving for no less than
24 hours. Breathe pure oxygen if available
and monitor yourself for decompression
sickness symptoms.
Using
a dive computer: If you exceed your
computer's no decompression limits,
it will go into decompression mode,
which guides you through the emergency
decompression top. Computers differ
in how they function in decompression
mode. So consult the manufacturer's
literature for the specifics for your
computer. Many will show emergency decompression
stops at 3 metres/10 feet instead of
5 metres/15 feet: stopping at 5 metres/15
feet until the computer says you can
surface will still work, though, because
the computer calculates the stop based
on your actual depth. It may take a
bit 1 on; than the time indicated for
a stop at 3 metres/10 feet.
It's
not recommended that you make a repetitive
after a dive requiring emergency decompression.
Emergency decompression stops differ
from safety stops in that an emergency
decompression stop must be made or there
is an excessive risk of decompression
sickness, and that is an emergency procedure.
