decompression time decreases below 200 minutes, the first (lowest) bar graph seg-

ment appears. As your body absorbs more nitrogen, more segments start to appear.

White Zone - As a safety precaution Suunto recommends you should maintain the

no-decompression bar graph within the green zone. Segments start to appear when

the available no-decompression time decreases below 100, 80, 60, 50, 40, 30 and

20 minutes.

Yellow Zone - As the bars reach the yellow zone, your no-decompression stop time is

less than 10 or 5 minutes and you are getting very close to no-decompression limits.

At this point, you should start your ascent towards the surface.

Red Zone - As all of the bars appear (red zone), your no-decompression stop time

has become zero and your dive has become a decompression stop dive (for more

information see section 3.3.5. “Decompression dives”).
