TABLE 6.2 NO-DECOMPRESSION TIME LIMITS (min) FOR VARIOUS DEPTHS [ft] FOR THE

FIRST DIVE OF A SERIES.

Personal/high altitude adjustment mode

Unlike the U.S. Navy tables, the instrument interpolates between depths, giving a diver “credit” for time spent in shallower

water, rather than calculating no-decompression limits based on the maximum depth of a dive. As a result, multi-level no-

decompression dive times permitted by the dive computer are often longer than those that would be allowed by the U.S. Navy

tables.
