5.12. Deep stops
The Suunto D9 allows you to choose a Deep Stop algorithm instead of the traditional
Recommended Safety Stop. Deep Stops are safety stops that occur deeper than
traditional stops, withthe purposeof minimizing microbubbleformation andexcitation.
The Suunto RGBMmodel calculates deepstops iteratively, placing thefirst stopabout
halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first Deep Stop
is completed, another Deep Stop will be prompted halfway to the ceiling, and so on
until the ceiling depth is reached.
The Deep Stop length can be set to 1 or 2 minutes.
Enabling the Deep Stops disables the Recommended Safety Stops, but Mandatory
Safety Stopsdue to continuous ascentrate violations, for example,are still prompted.
