Change your safety stop mode to "clear cntr" (clear counter). Once you reach safety stop depth or clear your deco, depending on the dive, it will start to count UP and then you can do with that what you will

Can anyone explain the point of the adaptive Safety Stop option.
Recently I had a dive to 32m for a total of 34minutes, it was a square profile wreck dive.. This was my first dive of this kind with the Perdrix.
I had an initial Deco Stop at 6m for 2 minutes followed by 3m for 3minutes stop ; my Perdrix is set to Medium conservation, so a 40/85 GF. After the mandatory Deco Stop completion the Perdrix then displayed a 5 minute Safety Stop....
Cheers
All that is in the user manual which the OP Maybe needs to download and read.
My Perdix is setup to do a 5 minute safety stop so even if I clear a deco obligation I still do a 5 minute safety stop. You can change the time and depth in settings. I like to off gas a little longer and I always tell my dive buddy or guide my safety stop is 5 minutes not 3. I once had a guide berate me for doing a 5 minute stop as he assumed I had gone into deco at some point when I hadn't. He did not know the settings I use on my dive computer.
Have you ever had anyone that did not stay with you during your Safety Stop because they wanted to immediately surface after their deco was complete ?
