Bottom time for OSTC2N simulator

[Hervé]

Hi,
With the OSTC 2N, it is possible to simulate a diving. You have to write the "bottom time". Does somebody know what "bottom time" means ?? Is it only the time at the desired depth or is it the time from the surface to the moment when the diver decides to stop the diving and so climb ?

Thank you in advance to answer me ?

Hervé.

It is only the time at the desired depth

c'est le temps passé au fond
le simulateur ne tient pas compte du temps mis pour descendre à cette profondeur.

The simulator assumes instant descent, the bottom time is the total time until the diver chooses to ascend including descent.

The computer then simulates the deco stops and time to ascend.
