The Suunto D4 also allows experienced divers who are willing to accept a greater level of risk to adjust the RGBM model. The default setting is 100%, which gives full RGBM effect. Suunto strongly advises you to use full RGBM effect. Statistically, very experienced divers have less incidents with DCI. The reason for this is unknown, but it is possible that some level of physiological and/or psychological accommodation can take place when you are very experienced as a diver. Thus, for certain divers and diving conditions, it may be desirable to set attenuated (50%) RGBM mode. See Table 5.7, RGBM model settings.
