You must not ascend shallower than 3 m/10 ft with the Mandatory Safety Stop warning
on. If you ascend above the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling, a downward pointing arrow
will appear and a continuous beeping starts.You should immediately descend to, or below,
the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling depth. If you correct this situation at any time during
the dive, there are no effects on the decompression calculations for future dives.

WHEN CEILING AND STOP

ARE DISPLAYED, IMMEDIATELY

(WITHIN 3 MINUTES) DESCEND

TO OR BELOW CEILING.

If you continue to violate the Mandatory Safety Stop, the tissue calculation model is affected
and the dive computer shortens the available no-decompression time for your next dive.
In this situation, it is recommended that you prolong your surface interval time before your
next dive.

5.11. Deep stops
Deep Stops are safety stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of
minimizing microbubble formation and excitation.
The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stops iteratively, placing the first stop about
halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first Deep Stop is
completed, another Deep Stop will be prompted halfway to the ceiling, and so on until the
ceiling depth is reached.
The Deep Stop length can be set to 1 or 2 minutes.
