ALADIN SPORT USER MANUAL
WARNING
The Aladin Sport doesn’t track your nitrogen
intake while in apnea mode. Therefore, the
no-fly time after apnea diving is set to 48
hours. Also, scuba diving after apnea diving
is recommended only after sufficient surface
time. Check the latest recommendations from
your instructor or diving organization.
Procedure:
1. From the dive display press-and-
hold the right button (“GAS” menu
appears). Press the right button 4x and
“ALGORITHM” menu is displayed.
2. Confirm with a press-and-hold of the
right button that you wish to activate or
deactivate the apnea mode.
3. “Scuba”, “Gauge” or “Apnea” starts
flashing.
4. By pressing the right button you can
scroll between modes and select the
apnea mode.
5. Confirm your setting with a press-and-
hold of the right button.
WARNING
SCUBAPRO highly recommends professional
training in apnea diving techniques and
physiology before conducting breath-hold
dives. No dive computer can replace the
need for proper dive training. Insufficient or
improper training may cause you to commit
errors that can lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING
Deep repetitive apnea dives are not
recommended; leave enough recovery time
between your apnea dives.
WARNING
All breath-hold dives include a risk of shallow
water blackout; that is, a sudden loss of
consciousness due to oxygen starvation.
The apnea mode is comparable to the gauge
mode – it doesn’t have a dive algorithm and
all decisions are left to the diver. Therefore
SCUBAPRO recommends:
1. Never apnea dive alone.
2. Make only apnea dives that your
education and physical condition allow.
In apnea diving fast descents and ascents
are allowed. Therefore, the Aladin Sport
uses a faster sampling of depth for higher
accuracy. The Aladin Sport updates the
display of maximum depth every 0.25
seconds, and the logbook is updated every
second.

The following information is displayed in
apnea mode during immersion:
Current

In apnea mode the dive can be started
manually with a press-and-hold of the right
button. This function allows a fast sampling
to start straight from the surface. The
