DECOMPRESSION VIOLATION LIMITS
As described on pages 32 – 35, the PRODIGY has two permanent viola-
tion modes that will result in the loss of some computer functions if entered.
These are termed, Delayed and Immediate Violation Modes. Figure 38 shows
a chart which details where those limits occur on extreme dive profiles
between 160 and 190 feet (48 and 57 meters)on a first dive. The chart is
meant as a reference and not a suggestion for planning a dive.
It is possible to exceed these limits at much shallower depths, especially
on repetitive dives. Watch the PRODIGY closely to avoid entering decompres-
sion, or entering a violation mode.
WARNING – Oceanic recommends that you follow the rules of
responsible diving on every dive, and strongly recommends against
decompression diving, or diving below 130 feet (39 meters).
CONCLUSION
The PRODIGY will provide you with information to help plan your dives,
make mid-dive decisions, and enjoy more fun time underwater. However, it is
only an informational tool whose entire worth depends on using it correctly.
The PRODIGY can greatly add to your enjoyment of the underwater world.
Learn how to use it. Use it wisely. And have fun with the PRODIGY, your
guide to the Oceanic frontier.
The PRODIGY
is only as good
as the diver
who uses it
correctly!
