2.2 Diving
In addition to the regulations specified in Chapter
2.1, the following regulations apply to diving:
• The SEABOB can be used by experienced swimmers
and snorkelers for diving to a depth of up to 2.5 m.
• Only divers with a diving licence or accompanied by
a certified diving instructor should be allowed to use
SEABOB for diving to a depth of more than 2.5 m.
• The maximum diving depth (depth limit) of all SEA
-
BOB models is factory set to 2.5 m. Users can increase
the depth limit to a maximum diving depth of 40 m
(see Chapter 5.8.1 "Setting the maximum diving
depth").
• When you have finished scuba diving, return to the
surface in a controlled ascent. Always keep an eye on
the remaining operating time shown in the display,
and take this time into account when timing (see
Chapter 5.6.2 "Accumulator charge state and emer
-
gency reserve"). The remaining operating time shown
on the display should be used only as an approximate
reference. For safety reasons, you should always in
-
clude a sufficient reserve in your calculations. For your
safety, it must be ensured that you can at all times, of
your own strength and without the SEABOB, resur
-
face in a controlled fashion and return to the starting
point.
• When scuba diving in caves, always ensure that you
are accompanied by another person with a second
craft. It is important to ensure that there are always
multiple alternatives for exiting the cave should one
alternative fail.
