1.1 Dive at low risk
The most recent results of decompression research and an enhanced interpretation of diving accidents allow
the deduction of guide-lines for diving at low risk. Aladin
®
Pro recognizes and reacts 'intelligently' to risk
situations. Of course, it is advantageous if these situations are avoided beforehand. The optional PC-interface
allows the analysis of such risk situations in an optimal way. This is the educational contribution of Aladin
®
Pro
to the prevention of diving accidents. The following remarks give (where possible) some hints to alow risk
diving technique.
1.2 Minimizing risk on first dives
The risk can be diminished on first dives by avoiding risk situations and by the selection of a dive profile 'low in
bubbles'. This leads to the following recommendations:
– strictly observe ascent rate and decompression stops
– avoid repeated ascents to shallower depths (yoyo-dives)
– avoid exertion at depth
– plan shorter duration for dives in cold water
– after completion of the decompression or at the end of no-stop dives, ascend the last metres to the surface
very slowly.
