Safety considerations
Uwatec ® Aladin ® Air Z
You must carefully read and understand this entire manual before using your Aladin
®
Air Z.
Diving has many inherent risks. Decompression sickness is among the most
serious of those risks. Even if you follow the instructions of this manual in a
careful manner, it is still possible that you may be seriously injured or die from
decompression sickness or some other inherent risk of scuba diving. Unless
you are fully aware of these risks and are willing to personally accept and
assume responsibility for those risks, do not use the Aladin
®
Air Z !
The Aladin
®
Air Z is a sophisticated decompression tool to assist a trained and certified diver in making
decisions concerning dive planning and execution. As with any tool, the Aladin
®
Air Z may be misused if
the following safety and operational precautions are not strictly followed. If they are followed, careful use
of the Aladin
®
Air Z can increase your diving enjoyment and reduce your risk of decompression sickness.
If they are not, you will be placing yourself at serious risk for decompression sickness.
While the Aladin
®
Air Z is a technically advanced tool based on a mathematical model of decompression
sickness, neither it nor any other diving computer (or table) can exactly monitor the physiological changes
that occur in your body as you dive. In addition, each diver will vary in his or her susceptibility to decom-
pression sickness and each individual diver‘s own susceptibility may vary from day to day. Combined with
the fact that decompression modelling is an inexact science, and must be based to some extend on cer-
tain unproven assumptions, it is emphasis on you, the individual diver, to dive responsibly and to careful-
ly follow all standard safe diving practices as well as the recommendations contained in this manual.
Guidelines for the use of Aladin
®
Air Z:
The following guidelines for using Aladin
®
Air Z are derived from the latest medical research and the
recommendations of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences for diving with diving computers.
Following these guidelines will greatly increase your safety while diving, but cannot guarantee that decom-
pression sickness will not occur.
