PO2 value is greater than the adjusted value. Current depth is too deep for the gas in use. You should imme- diately ascend or change to a gas with a lower oxygen percentage.

Decompression ceiling depth is exceeded. You should immediately descend to, or below, the ceiling.

Maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m per min / 33 ft per min, is exceeded. Slow the ascend rate down.

No-decompression dive turns into a decompression stop dive. Depth is below the decompression floor level. You should ascend to, or above, the floor.
