I DANGER: CRESSI ADVISES AGAINST DIVING WITH NITROX WITHOUT
FIRST HAVING COMPLETED A SPECIFIC COURSE ON THIS TYPE OF DIVE.
NITROX DIVES, IN FACT, MAY EXPOSE A DIVER TO DANGERS OTHER THAN
THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH AIR DIVES, WHICH MAY ENTAIL SEVERE PHYSI-
CAL INJURIES AND, IN EXTREME CASES, EVEN DEATH.
I DANGER: TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, THE GOA/CARTESIO COMPUTER
COMES WITH THE PO2 PARAMETER VALUE SET TO 1.4 BAR BY THE MA-
NUFACTURER, EVEN FOR AIR DIVES. IT IF PROVES NECESSARY TO INCREA-
SE THE SAFETY MARGIN EVEN FURTHER, YOU CAN SET THIS PARAMETER
TO LOWER VALUES, DOWN TO 1.2 BAR, IN DECREMENTS OF 0.1 BAR.
IMPORTANT: after a dive made with GOA/CARTESIO in GAGE mode (depth
gauge-timer), the instrument will not perform saturation and desaturation com-
putations for the following 48 hours.
IMPORTANT: avoid all types of high risk prole dives, such as those with
“yo-yo” or reverse proles, or several repeated multi-day dives, which may be
dangerous and entail a higher risk of DCS!
IMPORTANT: At present, no validated scientic literature permits making
more than two dives per day over periods of one or two weeks without entai-
ling a DCS risk. Hence you should not exceed the limit of two dives per day.
It is also advisable to take a rest period of at least 2 hours between one dive
and the next.
IMPORTANT: whenever you become aware of any factor that could increase
the risk of DCS (decompression sickness), select and set the most conserva-
tive Safety Factor (SF1 and SF2), for a safer dive.
NOTE: on a plane ight, take the instrument with you in the pressurized cabin.
NOTE: Cressi underscores that sport dives should always be made within the
safety curve and to a max. depth of 40 m, which is the limit depth for sport
dives. Exceeding these limits greatly increases the risk of DCS.
FREE DIVING (APNEA DIVES)
IMPORTANT: when free diving, safety hinges on a person’s capacity to make
use of their theoretical and practical knowledge, rationally and cautiously, so
as to avoid accidents. Hence, this instrument should be regarded as an aid in
free diving, for use by persons fully aware of the risks entailed by this activity.
It should be used only and exclusively after careful theoretical and practical
training on the techniques and the hazards associated with free diving.
I DANGER: IT SHOULD BE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT A DIVE COM-
PUTER CANNOT, AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO, RULE OUT THE RISK OF A
SYNCOPE OR THE TARAVANA SYNDROME. ALL THE COMPUTER DOES, IN
FACT, IS PROVIDE INDICATIONS ON SURFACE, DEPTH AND DIVING TIMES.
THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED TO THE SCUBA DIVER SHOULD BE REGAR-
DED AS USEFUL DATA, WHICH MAY BECOME SAFETY INFO ONLY UPON
BEING EVALUATED AND PROCESSED BY THE HUMAN MIND. ACCORDIN-
GLY, IN-DEPTH THEORETICAL TRAINING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
IMPORTANT: THIS INSTRUMENT SHOULD BE USED SOLELY BY CERTI-
FIED SCUBA DIVERS, AS NO COMPUTER CAN REPLACE EXTENSIVE UN-
DERWATER TRAINING. KEEP IN MIND THAT SAFETY IN APNEA DIVING IS
ONLY ENSURED BY APPROPRIATE TRAINING.
IMPORTANT: CRESSI’S GOA/CARTESIO COMPUTER HAS BEEN DESIGNED
EXCLUSIVELY FOR AMATEUR SPORT USES, NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE.
