time will also assist those local areas of impaired circulation to desaturate with less risk of decompression sickness.

The calculation of microbubbles results in altered ascent instructions. If microbubbles are assumed to be present based on the data used by the Monitor 3 Air, the ascent rate is reduced to 23 feet/minute. This will help prevent the formation of microbubbles in the arterial circulation and minimizes formation of microbubbles in the venous circulation after the dive.

Summary

With its new decompression model, the Monitor 3 Air is a versatile tool which can increase your diving comfort and safety. As with any diving tool, however, ultimate responsi- bility for diving safety remains with the individual diver. The same responsible diving practices taught by all diving certifications are still absolutely necessary in order to safely dive with the Monitor 3 Air.
