The Tissue Loading Bar Graph (Fig. 2a) represents tissue loading of nitrogen, showing your relative no decompression or decompression status. As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, segments will add to the Graph, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the Bar Graph will begin to recede, indicating that additional no decompression time is allowed for multilevel diving.
The Tissue Loading Bar Graph monitors 12 different nitrogen compartments simultaneously and displays the one that is in control of your dive. It is divided into a green No Decompression (normal) zone, a yellow Caution zone (also No Decompression), and a red Decompression (danger) zone.
While you cannot provide a guarantee against the occurrence of decompression sickness, you may choose your own personal zone of caution based upon age, physique, excessive weight, etc., to reduce the statistical risk.
NOTE: Displays associated with oxygen and the O2 Bar Graph will only appear if FO2 has been set at a valueotherthan'Air'(e.g.,anumericalvalue).
