safety stops in cold water
On my last two dives in Calhoun, I went down to 40+ feet and my Dive Rite Nitec Duo said I had to do a 3 minute stop at 15 feet.
While diving over the summer it never made me do a stop for 3 minutes when the water was warmer and I'm just wondering if this has something to do with the colder water temps or the fact that I hit the 40 foot plus depth and it just said to stop and be safe?

Re: safety stops in cold water
According to the Duo manual, when you drop below 33 ft, the computer will signal a 3 min safety stop after you get shallower than 20 ft.
The computer will not go into violation if you do not stop, but it's a good practice to follow. Jeff

Re: safety stops in cold water
Note to self, next time read the manual... ;D Thanks. It's strange since I don't recall it doing that before. Maybe I had that turned off or set deeper. I just checked and I did have the NDL set to 30 in the plan mode. Oh well, I did the stops so it's all good. I just want to get back out this week as soon as the water turns over and check out those freaky ledges in Calhoun again.
