6.1.2. Bookmark
It is possible to record bookmarks in the profile memory during a dive. These bookmarks
are displayed when scrolling the profile memory on the display. The bookmarks will also
be shown as annotations in the downloadable Suunto Dive Manager PC software. The
bookmark logs the depth, time, and water temperature, as well as compass heading (if
the compass has been enabled). To make a bookmark in the profile memory during a
dive, press the SELECT button. A brief confirmation will be given.

WARNING

DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ASCENT RATE! Rapid ascents
increase the risk of injury. You should always make the Mandatory
and Recommended Safety Stops after you have exceeded the
maximum recommended ascent rate. If this Mandatory Safety Stop
is not completed, the decompression model will penalize your next
dive(s). Continuous ascent rate violations will result in Mandatory
Safety Stops. When Recommended Deep Stop is enabled, the length
is indicated in seconds.

6.1.4. Safety Stops
A 3 minute Recommended Safety Stop is prompted after every dive to over 10m.

6.1.5. Decompression dives
When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive becomes a decompression dive so
you must perform one or more decompression stops on your way to the surface. The NO
DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by an ASC TIME, and a CEILING notation will
appear. An upward pointing arrow will also prompt you to start your ascent.
