With its new decompression model the Aladin
®
Pro
Ultra is an extremely versatile tool which can
increase your diving comfort and safety. As with
any diving tool, however, ultimate responsibility for
diving safety remains with the individual diver. The
same responsible diving practices taught by all
diving certification agencies are still absolutely
necessary in order to safely dive with the Aladin
®
Pro Ultra.
Certain mistakes which may be made by a diver,
such as ascending at an excessive rate, going too
deep, or staying too long at depth, may be overco-
me if the diver carefully follows the Aladin
®
Pro
Ultra‘s corrected ascent instructions. Of course, the
Aladin
®
Pro Ultra can do nothing to prevent the
occurrence of lung overexpansion injuries or nitro-
gen narcosis, whose avoidance lies solely with the
individual diver. The Aladin
®
Pro Ultra 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 Ultra without a thorough understan-
ding 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 Ultra without a set
of accepted nitrox diving tables with you as a
back up decompression tool on every dive.
Should decompression sickness occur, whether
the Aladin
®
Pro Ultra 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.
