Diver Dennis:Suunto computers do flash and ask you to ascend to a certain depth but I take them into deco a lot and the stop time just increases. If you do the stops they tell you there is no penalty on the surface. If you do not do a required stop, they will lock you out for 24 hours.
Your statement repeats a common and very important, although subtle, misconception.Diver Dennis:Suunto computers do flash and ask you to ascend to a certain depth but I take them into deco a lot and the stop time just increases.

Jason Ooi:Is mean miss decompression/safety stop of required...lock you out of water for 24hrs..
The monsters will get you! :11:stunaep:i haven't been diving too long, and seem a little foggy on the "decompression dive." i know that recreational diving typically is above 130ft, and as of right now i am not planning to go deeper, but what happens if you do?
rawls:Jason...My Vyper locked me out once for 36 hours. It is set very conservatively. The two people I dived with didn't go into deco. One was my instructor and the other was a photographer...named Emily...Emily...Boy oh boy...We all stayed at the same depth and together because I was doing a training dive and Emily was photographing. For some reason I exceeded my ceiling and it locked me right out. The word ceiling doesn't only mean an overhead environment. In deco it means I have gone to a shallower depth than where I was supposed to make a decompression stop. But yes...the computer will lock you out.
