ALTITUDE DIVING

The atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes than at sea level. After traveling

to a higher altitude, the diver will have additional nitrogen in his body, compared to

the equilibrium situation at the original altitude. This "additional" nitrogen is released

gradually in time and equilibrium is reached. It is recommended that you adapt to

the new altitude by waiting at least three hours before making a dive.

Before high altitude diving, the instrument must be set to the Altitude Adjustment

mode to adjust the calculations for the new altitude. The maximum partial pressures

of nitrogen allowed by the mathematical model of the dive computer are reduced

according to the lower ambient pressure.

As a result, the allowed no-decompression stop limits are considerably reduced.

SURFACE INTERVALS

The dive computer requires a minimum surface interval of 5 minutes between dives

in the Air/EAN mode. If a surface interval is shorter than 5 minutes, the next dive is

treated as a continuation of the previous dive. In the Free/Gauge mode this surface

interval is equivalent to the sampling rate.
