Hey guys! i just got my atom 2.0 and i have read through the manuel (witch is very confusing on some parts) and i have a quick question.

Im not sure i understand the Decompression bar graph deal on the computer. it says that it will display 1 - 5 icons and they will increase the deeper you go and the longer you stay down, but recede when you make your assent and do your safety stop. so can you only surface when all of the icons are gone? or can you surface if only 4 of the 5 are showing? sorry if its a stupid question, i couldn't really understand the manuel very well
 
That manual drove me nuts too.....and since I have not been bent yet and done about 100 deco dives on atom 2's.....as soon as you are out of deco, I.e. when it is showing four dots, you can surface. This is not gospel and I could be horribly wrong, but I am still alive...
 
....just make sure you never do anything that triggers the display: ... --- ... (S.O.S.) :)

You should NOT surface if the computer tells you that you are still in deco (all the segments light up).

We plan to release the Atom 2.0 online class next month.

At five it's in deco and you should not surface as long as you have enough gas or it not a hazards condition. Go on O2 right away if those conditions happen. Otherwise do your deco stop all the other ones you can make a slow ascent to the surface.
That is one bad manual but try starting at page 91 then go back to the beginning of the manual.
 
Thank you all for your info!
