Hi everyone,
I just downloaded our vacation dives from the Cobras to the PC Dive Manager. When using the software to look through the dive profiles, I noticed something that bothered me.
At about 44 feet and 46 minutes of the second dive of the series (first dive day of the vaca) I see that my NDL expired and it showed a ceiling of 10 feet with an ascent time of 2-4 minutes...which then turned into my usual 3 minute safety stop since the dive was ending anyway. The ascent time was not blinking and there were no arrows telling me that I had to ascend, I think this was a mandatory safety stop?
Since I am constantly monitoring my computer throughout the dive, it really freaks me out that I didn't notice something so important. I watch my NDLs adamantly, (especially this trip since we were going to be diving multiple days), and I just KNOW that I would've noticed a message that my computer displayed for 2 minutes!
Because of my unwillingness to believe that I can do anything wrong, I decided to do a little more research. According to the Suunto manual, page 2 of the computer's logbook will show the 'ASC TIME' label if the dive was a decompression stop dive...and when I page through my Cobra, I do not see that.
What's up with this? Anyone with similar experiences or explanations??
