1.1 Diving at reduced risk
Analyzing the most recent results of decompression research and statistical analysis of diving accidents
involving decompression sickness allows for the creation of guidelines for diving at reduced risk for decom-
pression sickness. Aladin
®
Air Z recognizes and reacts “intelligently“ to certain risk situations. Of course, it
is much better that each individual diver avoid these higher risk situations altogether. Yet if a decompres-
sion accident does occur, the optional MemoMouse and DataTrak software allows the analysis of the dive
profile and certain risk parameters to provide for more complete information for treatment purposes. The
following are highly recommended suggestions for reducing the risk of decompression sickness.
Neither the Aladin
®
Air Z nor any other diving computer or decompression table
can guarantee that decompression sickness will not happen even if the compu-
ter or table is used correctly and all of the following precautions are followed.
• Due to the danger of nitrogen narcosis do not dive deeper than 130 feet. Aladin
®
Air Z does not warn
you in this respect.
• In accordance with the recommended maximum diving limit, do not dive deeper than 130 feet.
• Do not use the Aladin
®
Air Z for planned decompression diving. The decompression alogrithm contai-
ned in the Aladin
®
Air Z should be used only for emergency or unintended decompression.
• On all dives with the Aladin
®
Air Z, make a safety stop for at least one to three minutes within the 10
to 15 feet zone.
• Never use the Aladin
®
Air Z for repetitive, “square“ dives deeper than 60 feet. A square dive is perfor-
med for its duration at a uniform depth.
• Always make the deepest dive of the day first when repetitive dives are planned, and for each dive make
sure that the deepest portion of that dive is done at the beginning of the dive.
• The Aladin
®
Air Z is designed for dives made with compressed air only. Do not use the Aladin
®
Air Z for
dives made with nitrox or other mixed gases.
• If your diving cylinder is equipped with a reserve or “J“-type valve, make certain that the reserve func-
tion is in an open (down) position. Failure to keep the reserve open will result in the improper calculati-
on of dive data depending on tank pressure.
• All divers using dive computers to plan dives and indicate or determine decompression status must use
their own computer which they take with them on all dives.
• On any given dive, both divers in a buddy pair must follow the most conservative dive computer for that
