• Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo yo diving).
• Avoid repeated heavy workload while at depth.
• Plan the dives to be shorter if they are made in cold water.
• After finishing the decompression or at the end of a no-stop dive, the final stage of the ascent should
be as slow as possible.
• You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of decompression sickness before using Aladin

!
Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any of these signs or symptoms occur
after a dive! There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of treatment and the delay between
the onset of symptoms and the treatment for decompression sickness.
• Only dive with Nitrox after you have been thoroughly instructed by a recognised institution.
Repetitive dives
• Diving with Nitrox: Make sure your surface interval is long enough (just like diving with compressed
air). Plan for a minimum surface interval of two hours. Oxygen, too, needs sufficient time to leave the
body.
• Match gas mixture to the intended dive.
• Do not attempt a repetitive dive if the microbubble warning
NO
is visible on the display.
• Plan a day without diving once a week.
• If you have to change computers, wait at least 48 hours before carrying out your next dive.
• Diving after a reset of the remaining saturation (reset, see page 12, or battery replacement, see
page 21) may lead you into potentially hazardous situations which could result in death or serious
injury. After a reset of the remaining saturation do not dive for at least 48 hours.
Altitude and diving
• Do not dive at altitudes higher than 4000m (13000 feet).
Flying after diving
• After diving, wait at least 24 hours prior to flying.
