ceiling toward the surface as the TLBG recedes toward the Caution zone.
Upon reaching zero Total Ascent Time remaining, you should continue
decompressing until the TLBG segments are well inside of the green No
Decompression zone, to the left of the 12 o'clock position.

2.  Your necessary decompression requires a ceiling depth between
60 and 70 feet (18 and 21 meters).

The display will be the same as the Decompression Mode with all segments of
the TLBG flashing (Fig. 40).  Total Ascent Time needed to get back to the
surface will still be displayed numerically in the Main Time display.

To get back to the surface, you must safely ascend to just deeper than 60 feet
(18 meters) staying as close to 60 feet (18 meters) as possible.  After waiting
until the TLBG recedes to the 50 FT/ 15 M zone, you can ascend to, but no
shallower than 50 feet (15 meters) and continue decompressing.  As the TLBG
recedes into the 40 FT/ 12 M, 30 FT/ 9 M, 20 FT/ 6 M and then 10 FT/ 3 M
zones, you can ascend to, but no shallower than the zone indicated.

After Total Ascent Time reaches zero and the TLBG recedes into the yellow
Caution zone, you can surface.  However, to add a greater margin of
protection, Oceanic strongly recommends that you wait until the
segments are well within the 'green' No Decompression zone, unless a
low air condition requires you to surface.
