III Uwatec ® Aladin ® Air Z
III 6 Diving in Mountain Lakes
In order to assure optimal decompression even at higher altitudes, the 10 ft decompression stage is divi-
ded into a 13 ft stage and a 7 ft stage (the pescribed decompression depths are, in sequence, 7 ft, 13 ft,
20 ft, 30 ft).
Aladin
®
Air Z can be used as decompression computer in case of an emergen-
cy up to an altitude of 13123 ft. If atmospheric pressure is below 8.99 psi (alti-
tude higher than 13123 ft above sea level), no decompression information is
displayed. Indication of the RBT is also impossible since decompression data are
necessary for its calculation (tank pressure is still displayed, of course). Dive-
plan-mode can no longer be started, since no decompression information is
available. Beside the display of the altitude section 3, <HI> (=high) appears, tel-
ling the diver that he will not get any decompression information for the dive.
Even the smallest differences in the pressure receptors can cause an indication
of different altitude sections of two dive computers at the same altitude on the
fringes of the altitude ranges. These differences are not meaningful and do not
interfere with the functions of Aladin
®
Air Z. But if an altitude section is dis-
played at sea level or the altitude read outs of two computers differ by more
than one altitude section (e.g. section 2 instead of 0), there may be a defect of
the computer. In this case, send your computer back to your retailer for
checking.
Diving while at altitude can considerably increase the risk of decompression
sickness. Do not undertake high altitude diving without being specifically trai-
ned in the special techniques of such diving.
