HINT:
The Data-
Max Pro is
only as good
as the diver
who uses it
correctly!
DECOMPRESSION VIOLATION LIMITS
As described on pages 32 - 38, the DataMax Pro has two permanent
violation modes. If either of these modes are entered underwater, you will
experience the loss of some computer functions. The two modes are termed
Delayed and Immediate Violation Modes. Figure 40 shows a chart that
details where permanent violation modes occur on an extreme an first dive
profile between 160 and 190 feet. The chart is meant as a reference and not a
suggestion for planning a dive.
It is possible to exceed the limits shown in Fig. 40 at much shallower
depths, especially on repetitive dives. Watch the DataMax Pro closely to
avoid entering decompression, or a violation mode.
WARNING: Oceanic recommends that you follow the rules of
responsible diving on every dive, strongly recommends
against decompression diving, or diving below 130. ft.
CONCLUSION
The DataMax Pro will provide you with information to help plan your
dives, make mid-dive decisions, and enjoy more fun time underwater. How-
ever, it is only an informational tool whose entire worth depends on using it
correctly. The DataMax Pro can greatly add to your enjoyment of the under-
water world. Learn how to use it. Use it wisely. And have fun with the
DataMax Pro, your guide to the Oceanic frontier.
