on the right, which functions according to following table:

If, during surfacing, the maximum allowed ascent rates are
exceeded, the display will show different segments, showing
the ascent rate increasing level. Additionally, the alarm will
sound, the UFDS display will start flashing (
17), as well as the flashing segmented ascent rate and cur-
rent depth value indicator.
In this situation, surfacing must be stopped until the (
disappears and the computer shows its normal display.

DANGER: Surfacing too fast dramatically increases the
risk of air embolism. Cressi-sub recommends that at the
end of each dive, engage in a "safety stop" of 3-5 minutes
at 10 ft– 20 ft., which will be assisted by the computer (see
chapter 3.4.2
WARNING: Do not engage in a follow up dive after a surfa-
ce interval if the ( ) icon has been on! The computations
for the next dive might be invalidated by exceeding the maxi-
mum ascent rate.

3.4.2. – Safety Stop (
Archimedes II is automatically programmed to signal a safety
stop after each dive at a greater depth than 32 ft., as recom-
mended by training agencies and the most recent studies on
diving physiology. A stop should be carried out at a depth
between 10 ft – 20 ft., and to last as long as signalled by the
computer.
NOTE: Cressi-sub recommends that after each dive, a safety
stop of 3-5 minutes at 10 – 20 ft be conducted.
The stop is indicated on the display by the (
ture 18); on such occasion, the display indicates how many
minutes the stop must last and the depth at which it has to be
conducted.
Although the safety stop is not mandatory, they are highly
recommended. In the event that ascent rates have been
exceeded, additional safety times should be conducted.
m
DANGER: It is very important that ascent rates be care-
fully monitored after a safety stop. Rapid ascent rates, after
a safety stop, are very dangerous and can result in air
embolism.

Any time the available no decompression time shown by the

II will engage an alarm and the display flashes for several
seconds notifying the diver that they are approaching no
