What does the "Run" column indicate in a dive profile?

The "Run" column in a dive profile indicates the elapsed time from the start of the dive. This measurement is crucial for divers as it helps them track how long they have been underwater. Monitoring time is essential for managing dive limits, adhering to no-decompression limits, and ensuring adequate ascent rates. Time management is key to safety, as exceeding planned dive times can lead to increased risk of decompression sickness due to prolonged exposure to pressure and overall nitrogen absorption.

Other aspects, such as maximum depth or safety stop time, do not directly relate to the "Run" column and are typically represented in other sections of a dive profile.
