4 Safety in Diving

Sport Plus
If signs or symptoms of decompression sickness occur after diving with Aladin
®
Sport Plus, seek IMME-
DIATE treatment at the nearest recompression facility.
With its new calculation model the Aladin
®
Sport Plus is an extremely versatile tool which can increase your
diving comfort and safety. As with any diving tool, however, ultimate responsibility for diving safety
remains with the individual diver. The same responsible diving practices taught by all diving certification
agencies are still absolutely necessary in order to safely dive with the Aladin
®
Sport Plus.
Certain mistakes which may be made by a diver, such as ascending at an excessive rate, going too deep,
or staying too long at depth, may be overcome if the diver carefully follows the Aladin
®
Sport Plus‘s cor-
rected ascent instructions. Of course, the Aladin
®
Sport Plus can do nothing to prevent the occurrence of
lung overexpansion injuries or nitrogen narcosis, whose avoidance lies solely with the individual diver. The
Aladin
®
Sport Plus is a highly sophisticated technical instrument which, if used and maintained properly,
will have high reliability. Despite that, no dive should be made with an Aladin
®
Sport Plus without a
thorough understanding of decompression theory and dive table use, and every diver must have a set of
decompression tables with him on every dive.
Do not use the Aladin
®
Sport Plus without a set of accepted diving tables
with you as a back up decompression tool on every dive.
Should decompression sickness occur, whether the Aladin
®
Sport Plus was used correctly or not, a detai-
led history of the previous dives may be used to allow a better diagnosis and the most effective treatment
for the diver.
