Oceanic DataMax Pro - Page 59

Fig. 37 – As one tissue recedes,
another increases with the
maximum reading being the
only one displayed
dives deeper than 90 feet or decompression dives. DataMax Pro decompres-
sion predictions are therefore based on U.S. Navy theory due to the present
unavailability of statistical data. Therefore, pay special attention to the
following warnings.
WARNING: Oceanic advocates responsible diving practices
and does not recommend decompression diving or diving
below 130 feet. The decompression capabilities of the
DataMax Pro are intended strictly for emergency use. Decom-
pression diving is inherently hazardous and greatly increases
your risk of decompression sickness - even when performed
according to the computer's calculations. In the event that
you must make an emergency decompression dive, you must
not make another dive for at least 24 (twenty-four) hours.
WARNING: Using the DataMax Pro, just as using the U.S.
Navy (or other) No-decompression Tables, is no guarantee
against of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.”
