I DANGER: NO DIVE COMPUTER CAN PROVIDE FULL PROTECTION
AGAINST DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS) (EMBOLISM). IT MUST
BE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT A DIVE COMPUTER CANNOT TOTALLY
RULE OUT THE DCS RISKS. A COMPUTER, IN FACT, CANNOT TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF EACH SCUBA DIVER, SINCE
SUCH CONDITIONS MAY UNDERGO CHANGES ON A DAILY BASIS, AC-
CORDINGLY, PRIOR TO UNDERTAKING ANY ACTIVITY, IT IS ADVISABLE
TO UNDERGO A CAREFUL MEDICAL EXAMINATION, AND YOU SHOULD
ASSESS YOUR FITNESS BEFORE ANY DIVE. KEEP IN MIND THAT CIR-
CUMSTANCES LEADING TO A HIGHER RISK OF DCS MAY ALSO INCLUDE
COLD WEATHER (TEMPERATURES BELOW 10° C), NON-OPTIMAL PHYSI-
CAL CONDITIONS, REPEATED DIVES PERFORMED OVER SEVERAL DAYS,
FATIGUE, CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, DRUGS OR MEDI-
CATIONS, DEHYDRATION. IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO AVOID SUCH SITUA-
TIONS AND ANY CONDITION THAT COULD PUR YOUR SAFETY AT RISK:
EACH PERSON SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS/HER SAFETY!
IMPORTANT: this instrument should be used solely by patented scuba divers,
as no computer can replace extensive underwater training. Keep in mind that
safety during a dive can only be ensured by appropriate training.
IMPORTANT: Cressi’s GOA/CARTESIO computer has been designed solely
for amateur sports uses, not for professional uses that require prolonged diving
times, with the ensuring increase in the DCS risks.
IMPORTANT: carry out preliminary checks before using the computer: check
battery charge and the status of display indications. Do NOT dive if the indica-
tions appear unclear or faded and, above all, if the “battery low” icon appears
on the display.
IMPORTANT: when you dive, you should also take along a depth gauge, a
manometer, a timer or a watch, and your decompression tables. Make sure
the pressure in the cylinders is appropriate to the dive you are planning to
make, check the quantity of air in the cylinders frequently by means of the
manometer.
I DANGER: DO NOT DIVE AT HIGH ALTITUDES WITHOUT FIRST HAVING
SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE LEVEL. CHECK THE ALTITUDE ON THE DI-
SPLAY. REMEMBER THAT DIVING AT ALTITUDES OF OVER 9842 FT ABOVE
SEA LEVEL ENTAILS AN APPRECIABLE INCREASE IN DCS RISKS.
I DANGER: BEFORE FLYING, WAIT FOR THE “NO FLY” ICON TO DISAPPE-
AR FROM THE DISPLAY OF YOUR COMPUTER.
IMPORTANT: the use of this instrument is strictly personal; the information it
supplies, in fact, applies solely to the person who has used it during a dive or
a series of dives.
I DANGER: CRESSI DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS INSTRUMENT
IN DECOMPRESSION DIVES. HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON YOU WERE
FORCED TO EXCEED THE DECOMPRESSION LIMITS, YOUR GOA/CARTESIO
COMPUTER WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL THE NECESSARY INFOR-
MATION ON DECOMPRESSION, SURFACING AND THE RELATIVE SURFACE
INTERVAL TIMES.
IMPORTANT: do not dive with cylinders containing Nitrox mixes without first
having checked personally their contents and oxygen percentage (%O2). Then
set the mix value on your computer, so that it might make the decompression
computations. Keep in mind that the computer will only accept %O2 values
rounded to the nearest whole number.
IMPORTANT: Before diving, always check the parameter settings on your
computer.
I DANGER: GOA/CARTESIO always retains the last oxygen percentage you
set. It is essential for your safety to verify this parameter before diving.
