RESPONSIBLE COMPUTER DIVING
Before you dive using your ReACT Pro, keep these basic rules in mind:
• Plan each dive, and dive your plan - Your ReACT Pro was not designed to make decisions for you, only to provide you with the
information you need to make responsible decisions for yourself. This begins with a dive plan that will help you avoid a low
air or decompression situation.
• Do not plan any dive that exceeds your training or experience level.
• Inspect your computer before every dive - If it shows any signs of damage or abnormal function, DO NOT dive with it until it has
received factory service.
• Make your deepest dive first - When making repetitive dives, it is imperative to ensure that each consecutive dive is shallower
than the one before. This will allow your body's slower tissues to continue outgassing nitrogen.
• Make the deepest part of your dive first, and gradually work your way to the surface using a staircase profile - The ability to perform
multilevel diving is one of the most important contributions of a dive computer, and you should take advantage of it. It will
increase your bottom time and at the same time decrease your risk of decompression sickness.
• Ascend slowly by following an ascent line whenever possible, or by ascending diagonally toward the surface - Watch the Ascent
Rate Indicator closely while you ascend, and keep it in the green zone as much as possible.
• A Safety Stop of 3 minutes or more is recognized as a prudent action to reduce the probability of bubble formation in divers.
