WARNINGS and SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Diving at high altitude requires special knowledge of the variations imposed upon divers,
their activities, and their equipment by the decrease in atmospheric pressures. Oceanic rec-
ommends completion of a specialized Altitude training course by a recognized training
agency prior to diving in high altitude lakes or rivers.
• Altitude compensation provided by the Pro Plus takes place when the unit is activated. DO
NOT dive at any different altitude until the Pro Plus shuts off. It will recalibrate automati-
cally when reactivated at the new altitude.
• When returning to lower altitudes, diving should not be conducted until the Pro Plus auto-
matically clears of any residual nitrogen and oxygen loading and resets to operate at the
new altitude.
• Decompression diving is inherently hazardous and greatly increases your risk of decompres-
sion sickness - even when performed according to the computer's calculations.
• Using the Pro Plus, just as using the U.S. Navy, or other, No Decompression Tables, is no
guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.”
