No stop limit vs. No stop time remaining

[scubadada]

How about this one: you just jumped in the water and are going down. Your current depth is 60 ft and calculated NDL is 30 minutes, however, you're still descending to your planned bottom at the sand at130' from where you plan to ascend checking out the nooks and crannies, all the way up to the wheelhouse at 80'.

Does your calculated NDL of 30 minutes has any relevance to your planned dive?

Sure, your NDL at the bottom will be much shorter and you will not have much NDL left when you get back up to 80 ft. Watch your computer if you want the dive to stay no stop.
