Pro Ultra

American

The Aladin

Pro Ultra gives to the diver a high level of reassurance and safety. However these units can

never be a substitute for a thorough diving education.

Pay careful attention to warnings given by the Aladin

Pro Ultra. Do not make risky dives. Pay special atten-

tion to the parts of this manual which are marked with a warning sign.

Follow all standard safe diving practices:

• Never dive without a buddy. The Aladin

Pro Ultra does not substitute for a dive

buddy!

• Only make dives that are appropriate to your level of dive training. The Aladin

Pro Ultra does not increase your knowledge of diving.

• Always check the diving limits given by the chosen percentage of oxygen

(decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity).

• Do not dive deeper than 130 feet.

This manual is part of the Aladin

Pro Ultra safety concept. Please confirm that you have read and under-

stood the complete manual:
