corrected ascent instructions. Of course, the Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox can do nothing to prevent the occurrence
of lung overexpansion injuries or nitrogen narcosis,
whose avoidance lies solely with the individual diver.
The Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox is a highly sophisticated
technical instrument which, if used and maintained
properly, will have high reliability. Despite this no dive
should be made with an Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox without a
thorough understanding of decompression theory and
dive table use, and every diver must have a set of
decompression tables with him on every dive.
Do not use the Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox
without a set of accepted nitrox diving
tables with you as a back up decom-
pression tool on every dive.
Should decompression sickness occur, whether the Ala-
din
®
Pro Nitrox was used correctly or not, a detailed history
of the previous dives may be used to allow a better
diagnosis and the most effective treatment for the diver.
