I made four shallow dives on Sunday, and didn't realize until later that I dove through three alarms on that day. I found out when I uploaded my COBRA dives into Dive Manager, and the alarms showed up as the "Diver Alert Symbol" on the graph.
None of the dives were past 22ft, so after each dive I came up and checked my computer, stayed out of the water for about 15-20 minutes, and dove again. Obviuosly, at those depths, even on quick, repetitive dives, my no deco time was off the chart, and greater than my air supply.
I did some reading on this small "Diver Alert Symbol" used by Suunto, and it is an alarm for excessive microbubbles. All dives but my first had that symbol.
That seems very conservative, to have to wait more than 15 minutes when I am going down 21 feet, even doing four dives in a day. Is there a generally accepted minimim surface interval for even very shallow dives?
