Could this be the altitude prohibited display?

In between dives the mountain symbol may appear with some sections filled in.  Is the point of the higher peak filled in.?

If so this signifies that you should not exceed 4000m

If the top 2 sections are filled in 2650m
3 sections 1650m
and all sections 850m

I'll try to insert a picture as an example.
Are you sure about those height Daz? They seem a bit much!
4000mtr = 13,300ft. Planes are pressurised to 3000ft and you're not meant to go near one of them for 24hrs, even at the other end;
850m = 2800ft. Ben Nevis is only 1350ft. So at it's most conservative you could do a days diving and yet still be able to climb the highest mountain in the UK(twice)

Are you sure you're not confusing ft with mtrs?

Peter
