Did a couple of dives to about 75 feet with my Vyper Air and downloaded them to DM4. With the reptitive dives (2nd of 2 in a day), I noticed that DM4 added a new graphed item (and value in the right hand details area) called "Ceiling." I know I'm a new diver and all, but I thought the "ceiling" was related to the top of the zone you would ascend to for a mandatory safety (deco) stop, or if you missed a safety stop or ascended too fast, the computer would show you a "ceiling" to avoid having you go too shallow for the stop.

However, these dives were not deco dives and the reported ceiling values were between 150 feet and 200 feet for roughly the entre profile (not a "shallow safety stop"). My question is, does anyone know what this means and why it's being reported by the software even with dives that are <80 feet? :blinking:

Thanks!
