Planned decompression dives violate the responsi-
ble diving practice standards of every major
diving organization. They are not to be attempted
by recreational or sport scuba divers. Only profes-
sional divers with extensive experience, training
and the appropriate equipment for decompression
diving (including the presence of an on board
recompression chamber) should attempt to plan a
decompression dive!
1.In order to plan a dive that requires decompression, wait until the scrolling
no-stop time shows the desired depth.
2.By means of contacts B and E you can switch into decompression planning.
Dive time is now one minute longer than no-stop time, and the decompres-
sion information appears.
3.<Add> demands that you set the time. This is done with contacts B and +, B
and – respectively. As soon as the contacts are no longer bridged, Aladin

Pro
Ultra calculates the decompression information for this set time. This calcula-
tion takes some time.
If you wish to plan a dive requiring decompression at another
depth, switch from decompression planning to no-stop planning
by means of B and E. Aladin
®
Pro Ultra again shows the scrolling
no-stop times. Now you can switch between no-stop planning and
decompression planning at will with contacts B and E.
