1.1 Diving at reduced risk
Aladin
®
Pro Ultra recognizes and reacts “intelligently“ to certain risk situations, although of course it is
much better that each individual diver avoid these higher risk situations altogether. If a decompression acci-
dent does occur, the optional MemoMouse and DataTrak software allows the analysis of the dive profile
and certain risk parameters to provide for more complete information for treatment purposes.
Analysis of the most recent results of decompression research and statistical analysis of diving accidents
involving decompression sickness supports the following guidelines for diving with a reduced risk of
decompression sickness.
The following suggestions are highly recommended:
1.2 Diving at reduced risk for the first dive
Neither the Aladin
®
Pro Ultra nor any other diving computer or decompressi-
on table can guarantee that decompression sickness will not occur even if the
computer or table is used correctly and all of the following precautions are fol-
lowed.
– Always make your first dive the deepest dive of the day.
– Always make the deepest descent of each given dive on a particular day at the beginning of that dive.
– Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo-yo diving).
– Avoid repeated heavy workload whilst at depth.
– Plan the dives 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..
– On all dives with the Aladin
®
Pro Ultra, make a safety stop for at least one to three minutes within the
10 to 15 feet zone.
– Check <O
2
% MIX> (gas mixture) and the dive depth limit given by the maximum ppO
2
selected.
– In accordance with the recommended maximum diving limit, do not dive deeper than 130 feet.
– Observe <CNS O
2
%> (ascend at 75%).
– Comply with the ascent rate and carry out any decompression stop required.
– If the Aladin
®
Pro Ultra fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated, and appropriate
surfacing procedures should be initiated immediately.
