3. Operating Gas Theory
This dive computer performs decompression diving calculations using
12 compartment algorithms developed by Mr. C. Randy Bohrer based on
Swiss-model theory and research. It is intended for use by individuals who
have completed a recognized scuba diving course. Persons who have not
taken scuba diving training or who are not aware of the risks of scuba div -
ing should not use this unit.
This computer is designed with the assumption that you will be doing no-
decompression diving. It also provides decompression data just in case,
but this is dangerous and should be avoided.
This dive computer’s standard settings assume the user is of average
physical strength and in ordinary health. The individual diver should there -
fore dive responsibly and make a safe diving plan suited to him or herself.
This dive computer is designed to be used by only one diver. Therefore,
if lending it to another person, you should start completely over from the
beginning status (Desaturation time, PGT graph and OLI graph should all
be 0) and the computer should not be displaying the ‘Surf. Time’ or ‘Do Not
Fly’ icons. You should never lend the computer to someone when doing
repeated dives.
