Total Ascent Time

Total Ascent Time is the addition of all the decompression stop times plus the amount of time it takes to ascend from the current depth to the first decompression stop.

Note: Total ascent time is calculated with an optimal ascent rate of 100% and normal workload. High workloads and different ascent rates may change the total ascent time.

SOS Mode

If you ignore your decompression stop and return to the surface (shallower than 4 feet) for more than three minutes, the Monitor 3 Air switches to SOS Mode. In SOS Mode, the computer displays SOS instead of current depth. While in SOS Mode, the computer cannot be used for 24 hours. SOS Mode can influence the computer's calculations for three days after the incident due to the presence of microbubbles.
