Welcome to the world of FREEDOM
Congratulations on your purchase of a Divesoft Freedom computer for technical diving. The
FREEDOM is made with high precision in every detail from high-quality materials for long life in the
harsh conditions of military, deep and cave diving. The solid aluminum shell protects high-tech
electronics with the most sophisticated decompression software. Reading the full-color OLED display
is a pleasure in any depth and in all conditions. Use trimix, SCR or CCR and dare to dive deeper,
longer and farther.
You have made the best choice for your diving.
Dive in and enjoy your newly acquired FREEDOM!
Warnings
The FREEDOM computer is a diver’s assistant for depth detection, time counting, temperature
detection, and decompression counting. It can be used with conventional and military scuba
apparatus, all kinds of SCR (only when the ppO2 cell is connected), all kinds of technical and military
CCR rebreathers and for free diving. The DIVESOFT FREEDOM computer cannot be used for
saturation diving.
The FREEDOM can calculate decompression with all mixes with oxygen, nitrogen and helium in any
combination. No other gases can be used.
Use of the computer does not replace the knowledge gained in an ordinary diving course. Never
use a diving computer without proper diving training!
There is always the risk of DCS. The actual course of decompression may vary according to individual
predispositions and environmental conditions. Decompression risk cannot be excluded even if the
recommended procedure is applied. DIVESOFT used generally known procedures to calculate
decomression. However, DIVESOFT cannot be held responsible for the consequences of
decompression accidents due to unforeseeable circumstances.
Always check all your settings before the dive. All settings of the FREEDOM computer have an effect
on decompression process and other parts of diver’s safety. Soberly evaluate each element of the
settings and its importance in a particular dive – especially GF and mixture settings!
The FREEDOM computer can be set incorrectly (among other things, for example, if the breathing
mixture is set to a value other than what is actually used), so even if compliance is displayed in the
onscreen instructions a decompression accident can occur. Therefore it is necessary to set the
parameters with the knowledge of things and cannot be assumed that the FREEDOM computer can
replace an appropriate course or training.
Observe no fly limits! Do not fly before the termination of no fly limits! Plan your dives with regards
on yours departure. Pressure in a plane’s cabin is reduced to 76.1 kPa (0.761 bar) and to 58 kPa (0.58
bar) in an emergency situation. The no-fly time is the period when a diver’s tissues are still saturated
with inertial gases and a decrease of pressure to the level of cabin pressure could cause DCS.
