3.4.2. - Safety Stop ( STOP ).
is programmed to automatically signal a safety stop,
after any dive at a greater depth than 32 ft., as recommen-
ded by training agencies and the most recent studies on
diving physiology. A stop should be carried out at a depth
between 10 ft. and 20 ft. and last as long as signalled by the
computer.
NOTE: Cressi-sub always recommends a safety stop after
the end of any dive, lasting about 3-5 min. at 10 ft.-20 ft.
The stop is shown by the (STOP) icon at the bottom of the
display (picture 13); it shows clearly how many minutes the
safety stop must last and the depth in meters or feet.
The safety stop is not mandatory, though it is strongly recom-
mended after any dive. If, for example, the maximum ascent
rate has been repeatedly exceeded, a safety stop should be
conducted. In this case, requires an especially prolon-
ged stop, which Cressi-sub always recommends to respect,
in order not to get exposed to serious risks.
 DANGER: at the end of a safety stop, divers often sur-
face at a high rate, sometimes even pumping their gav. It is
a very great mistake, which might cause decompression
sickness. The last feet before surface are the most dange-
rous, showing dramatic pressure variations. You should
always take at least a minute to reach the surface after a
safety stop.

Any time the available no decompression time shown by the
“ ”, icon decreases to 3 minutes (picture 19), will
engage an alarm and the display will be flashing for several
seconds, warning the diver he is approaching no decom-
pression limits, therefore beginning a decompression dive.

 DANGER: do not use this instrument to dive beyond
the no decompression limits! Cressi-sub discourages the
use of this computer for decompression dives.
In the event you have exceeded the no decompression
limits, Cressi-sub computer will assist you with specific
information related to surfacing correctly and related decom-
pression stages. Upon exceeding the no decompression
limits, the computer will start an alarm lasting several
seconds, and the display will change as in picture 20, giving
the diver the following information:
1 DECO replaces the “ ” icon, showing that no decom-
pression has been exceeded and decompression stops
must be taken.
2 Depth of first decompression stage ( the deepest ), given
in meters (m) or feet (ft). It may vary from a minimum of
10 ft. to a maximum of 98,4 ft., by increments of 10 ft.
