4 Functions during the dive with MB levels
4.1 Level stop information
MB no-stop time
While diving with MB levels L1 to L5 Aladin will display the MB no-stop time instead of the ordinary no-stop
time. Within the MB no-stop time no level stops are required.
"NO STOP" and the MB level symbol
are visible. The remaining MB no-stop time is shown in minutes.
• Information and alarms for MB no-stop time and ordinary no-
stop time are the same (->26).
• No-stop time relative to L0 is shown by pressing 3x
(see )
• Regardless of the MB level, we generally recommend to perform
a slow ascent during the last few metres / feet.
Level stop
On entering the level stop phase,
"NO STOP"
disappears and the arrow
arrow flashes for 8 seconds and an audible attention beep
goes off. To complete the dive without cascading to a lower MB level, all
requested level stops must be observed.

("2: 10ft") means that a level stop of 2 minutes at a depth of 3 metres (10 feet) has
to be observed. Deco information relative to L0 is shown on an alternate display
(see ).
When a level stop has been finished, the next higher level stop – if present
– is displayed. When all level stops have been observed, the arrow
