Some Notes on ascent rate:
- The Monitor 3 Air may require a decompression stop due to an improper ascent rate, even if you stay within the no-stop limits.
- Decompression time necessary for the prevention of microbubbles can increase greatly if the ascent rate is exceeded.
- At great depth, ascending too slowly may cause heightened saturation of tissues and increase both decompression time and total ascent time. At shallow depth, a slow ascent may shorten decompression time because the tissues are desaturating during a shallow, slow ascent.
- Excessive rates of longer periods are entered in the dive computer's memory
Section 2: Diving with the Monitor 3 Air
No-Stop Time
No-Stop Time is the amount of time you can stay at the current depth without making required decompression stops. This number is displayed in minutes, with 99 being the highest number displayed. If 99: is displayed, you have 99 minutes or more of no-stop remaining. No-stop time is easily identified by the no-stop arrow located directly above it.
