WARNING
Recreational divers should not dive deeper
than 40 m (130 ft). Although this computer
will continue to provide information for
compressed-air dives deeper than 40 m
(130 ft.), the risk of nitrogen narcosis and
decompression sickness (DCS) is greatly
increased; therefore this information should
be treated as only approximate.
!
WARNING
Never dive to depths greater than 40 m
(130 ft), and never take decompression
dives with Nemo Wide unless you possess
the specific license (IANTD, NAUI, PADIDSAT,
PSA, SSI, TDI, etc.) for deep scuba diving
to depths of more than 40 m (130 ft) and
fully understand the risks and the skills that
this type of dive requires. This type of dive
can entail a greater risk of decompression
sickness, even for the most qualified
and expert divers, and regardless of the
instrumentation or computer used. Divers
attempting these types of dives must have
completed a specialist course and gained
the necessary experience.
The safety of a dive can only be increased through
adequate preparation and training.
Mares therefore recommends using the dive
computer only after having completed a specialist
diver training course.
Mares recommends scrupulous adherence to the
simple rules of behavior listed below:
RESPONSIBLE DIVING
PRACTICES
• Always plan your dives in advance.
• Never exceed the limits of your skill and
experience.
• Go to your deepest planned depth at the
beginning of the dive.
• Check your computer frequently during the
dive.
• Comply with the ascent rate indicated by the
computer.
• Always perform a safety stop between -6 and
-3 meters (-20 and -10 ft) for at least 3 minutes.
• After any decompression stops, ascend very
slowly to the surface.
• Avoid yo-yo dives (repeatedly ascending and
descending underwater).
• Avoid strenuous activity during the dive and for
half an hour after surfacing.
• When diving in cold water or after intense
exertion, start ascending well before reaching
the no-decompression limits.
• In the case of a decompression dive, prolong
the decompression stop nearest the surface for
safety.
• Repetitive dives should be separated by a
surface interval of at least 2 hours.
• Your deepest dive should be the first one of the
day.
• Avoid diving until the desaturation time
deriving from the previous dive has elapsed.
• When doing repetitive dives for several
consecutive days, take at least one day
off from diving every week. In the case of
decompression-stop diving, it is recommended
to take one day off from diving every three days.
• Avoid decompression-stop dives and do not
dive deeper than 40 meters (130 ft) unless you
have been specifically trained in this type of
technical diving.
• Avoid repetitive “square profile” dives (dives to a
single depth) deeper than 18 meters (60 ft).
• Always wait at least 12 hours, and preferably 24
hours, before flying after a dive, in accordance
with the recommendations of the Divers’ Alert
Network.
