DIVE MODES

WARNINGS:

Making decompression dives without the proper preparation and train-
ing will place you in an unnecessarily dangerous situation.

Existing data for making planned decompression dives is extremely lim-
ited, and virtually non-existent for repetitive decompression diving.

Decompression diving greatly increases your risk of decompression
sickness.

Special training, equipment, and support are necessary for diving
deeper than the maximum recommended sport diving depth limit(s).
