Sport Plus
Wait-mode:
Activation: automatically on reaching the surface.
The wait-mode is activated if the diver surfaces (diving depth less than 2 ft). At
the surface, the dive is not completed and entered into the logbook for an
interval of 5 minutes. This allows a short surfacing for the purpose of orienta-
tion.
Surface-mode:
Activation: automatically after a dive or when changing altitude.
After a dive has been completed, Aladin
®
Sport Plus is in surface-mode. All data
belonging to the surface interval are calculated and displayed: simulation of
microbubble formation, actualization of the saturation of tissues depending on
the calculated skin temperature and the assumed work load at the surface, cal-
culation of desaturation time and no fly interval.
In order to save energy, Aladin
®
Sport Plus falls into the “surface-sleep” after 3
minutes. The functions of surface-mode are then carried out in the background.
The atmospheric pressure is measured in surface-sleep once every minute. If the
atmospheric pressure decreases, for example in case of change of altitude,
Aladin
®
Sport Plus switches from sleep-mode or from surface-sleep into surface-
mode automatically and displays the adaptation time. The adaptation time is
the time after which all body tissues have adapted to the ambient pressure (=
desaturation time).
