Aladin

Sport also measures the atmospheric pressure in sleep-mode. If the
computer detects a higher altitude section, it switches into surface-mode
automatically. Desaturation time indicated at this moment refers to adaptation
time at this altitude. If diving starts within this adaptation time, Aladin

Sport
treats it as a repetitive dive, since the body still has a higher saturation.
The entire altitude range is divided into four sections which are influenced by meteorological circumstances.
That is why the following altitude sections overlap on their fringes. The altitude section is indicated at the
surface, in the logbook and in the dive planner by stylized mountains, if a mountain lake altitude is reached.
Section 0 is not indicated. In the following, you can see the approximate altitude ranges of the four sections:
