I believe it is percent, so 76% would be pretty signficant.

As I understand it: Actual "Test Depth"=(100-76)%of Nominal Test Depth. If you sub has a Test Depth of 110m (~330ft) with a 76 hull damage, diving below ~27m (~81ft) is not covered by your warranty anymore...

All the way to the bottom if you are careless.
