For fuLL layout, the underlying L0
information is shown in the sequence right
after the Buddy tank pressure and before
the ppO
. This is displayed instead of the MB
2
level no-stop or decompression information
and remains there only for 5 seconds, after
which it is replaced again by the information
relative to the active MB level.

3.5.4 Cascading MB levels
When diving with an MB level, Galileo
carries out all calculations relating to L0 and
to all MB levels in between the currently
active one and L0. This gives the diver the
flexibility to start with a given MB level but
to cascade down to a less conservative
level during the dive: If you start the dive
at L4 but decide not to carry out all the
required L4 stops, you can cascade down
through L3, L2, L1 all the way to L0. Only
decompression stops relating to L0 are
mandatory and must be respected at all
times, whereas the level stops calculated
by the MB levels are recommended but not
mandatory. Section 3.5.5 describes how to
cascade to a lower level.
3.5.5 Level stop ignored/MB level
If a level stop is required and you ascend
1.5m/5ft or more above it, Galileo will
reduce your active MB level to the next one
compatible with the current depth. When
this happens, the new active MB level is
permanently displayed on the screen. It is
no longer possible to finish the dive with the
MB level set at the beginning of the dive.
When the level stop depth is the same as
the deco stop depth, ascending 1.5m/5ft
above it will cause Galileo to cascade down
to L0.
At the end of the dive, for 5 minutes after
reaching the surface, the active (reduced)
MB level is shown on the display. After
5 minutes Galileo changes to surface
mode and switches back to the MB level
set prior to the dive, but the reduced MB
level is recorded on the fourth page of the
logbook.
