1.1 Diving at reduced risk
Aladin
®
Sport Plus recognizes and reacts “intelligently“ to certain risk situations, although of course it is
much better that each individual diver avoid these higher risk situations altogether. If a decompression acci-
dent 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.
Analysis of the most recent results of decompression research and statistical analysis of diving accidents
involving decompression sickness supports the following guidelines for diving with a reduced risk of
decompression sickness.
The following suggestions are highly recommended:
1.2 Diving at reduced risk for the first dive
Neither the Aladin
®
Sport Plus nor any other diving computer or decompres-
sion table can guarantee that decompression sickness will not occur even if
the computer or table is used correctly and all of the following precautions
are followed.
• 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.
• Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo-yo diving).
• Avoid repeated heavy workload whilst at depth.
• Plan the dives shorter if they are made in cold water.
• After finishing the decompression or at the end of a no-stop dive, the final stage of the ascent should
be as slow as possible.
• On all dives with the Aladin
®
Sport Plus, make a safety stop for at least 1 to 3 minutes within the 10 to 15
feet zone.
• In accordance with the recommended maximum diving limit, do not dive deeper than 130 feet.
• Comply with the ascent rate and carry out any decompression stop required.
• If the Aladin
®
Sport Plus fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated, and appropria-
te surfacing procedures should be initiated immediately.
• You MUST follow the ascent rates as indicated by the Aladin
®
Sport Plus and if the computer should fail
