VI Dive Planner
Repetitive dives usually cause more microbubbles in the lungs than first dives if
the surface interval is not long enough. Too rapid ascent and/or disregard of
decompression instructions can lead to microbubbles. By calculating the
formation of bubbles, Aladin
®
Pro is able to advise the diver to extend the
surface interval if necessary. If <Atn> is displayed instead of the depth in
addition to the no-stop times, the diver should plan an extension of the interval
if possible. This reduces the risk of many microbubbles in the lungs for the
planned dive.
– By repeated recalculations of the dive-plan with varying surface intervals the
minimum interval can be found out.
– When diving in spite of the display <Atn>, a clear shortening of the no-stop
time and an extension of decompression has to be expected.
– If a dive is made during <Atn> -time, the <Atn>-time following the dive can
increase considerably.
