• Only make dives that are appropriate to your level of dive training. Galileo does not
increase your knowledge of diving.
• Always dive with back-up instruments. Make sure that you always use back-up
instrumentation including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, digital bottom
timer or dive watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever diving with
a dive computer.
• Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo yo diving).
• Avoid repeated heavy workload while at depth.
• Plan the dives to be shorter if they are made in cold water.
• After fi nishing the decompression or at the end of a no-stop dive, the fi nal stage of the
ascent should be as slow as possible.
• You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of decompression sickness before
using Galileo! Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any
of these signs or symptoms occur after a dive! There is a direct correlation between
the effectiveness of treatment and the delay between the onset of symptoms and the
treatment for decompression sickness.
• Only dive with Nitrox after you have been thoroughly instructed by a recognised
institution.
Repetitive dives
• Do not start your next dive before your CNS O
2
% status has dropped below 40%.
• When diving with Nitrox, make sure your surface interval is long enough (just like diving
with compressed air). Plan for a minimum surface interval of two hours. Oxygen, too,
needs suffi cient time to leave the body.
• Match gas mixture to the intended dive.
• Do not attempt a repetitive dive if the no-dive warning
is visible on the display.
• Plan a day without diving once a week.
• If you have to change computers, wait at least 48 hours before carrying out your next dive.
• Diving after a reset of the remaining saturation may lead you into potentially hazardous
situations which could result in death or serious injury. After a reset of the remaining
saturation do not dive for at least 48 hours.
Altitude and diving
• Do not dive at altitudes higher than 4000m/13000ft.
• After a dive do not rise to altitudes that Galileo prohibits via the altitude range indicator.
Flying after diving
• After diving, wait at least 24 hours prior to fl ying.
Important notice to individuals with pacemakers, defi brillators or other implanted electronic devices.
Individuals
who have a pacemaker use the UWATEC Galileo dive computer at their own risk. Before starting use, we recommend a
maximal exercise stress test under a doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous
use of the pacemaker and the Galileo dive computer.
Galileo dive instrument is a personal protective equipment in compliance with the essential safety requirements of the
