Attention on descent – what does it mean?

Post by stixer »

Hi.

I got a strange Attention symbol in one dive. I don´t know, what it means. Does anyone has a clue?
My buddy had the same symbol on this dive…

We both have a Suunto Zoop.

Thanks!

Generally you will see this on your device before you dive, and it means "extend your surface interval". In practice I think it just means you will have a slightly penalty to your NDLs due to repetitive diving.

But I believe this is explained in the manual of your device.

This symbol comes on when the surface interval needs to be prolonged. Basically the more dives you have done in the past 72 hours, the longer the surface interval will be. It is dependant on your body's current tissue loading.

Hope this will help
