III Diving with Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox

In order to assure optimal decompression even at higher altitudes, the 3 m decompression stage is divided into
a 4 m stage and a 2 m stage (the pescribed decompression depths are, in sequence, 2 m, 4 m, 6 m, 9 m).
Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox can be used as a decompression computer in case of an
emergency up to an altitude of 4000 m. If atmospheric pressure is below 620
mbar (altitude higher than 4000 m above sea level), no decompression information
is displayed. 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, telling the diver that he will not get any decompression information for
the dive. Oxygen-toxicity is still calculated.
Very small differences in the pressure sensors 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
®
Pro Nitrox. But if an altitude section is displayed at sea
level or the altitude readouts of two computers differ by more than one altitude
section (e.g. section 2 instead of 0), there may be a computer defect. In this case,
send your computer back to your retailer for testing.
Diving while at altitude can considerably increase the risk of decompression
sickness. Do not undertake high altitude diving without being specifically trained
in the special techniques of such diving.
