General Instructions
Before using the regulator or any other
products for underwater diving, you
should attend a course held by qualified
instructors and obtain the relevant diving
certificate. The use of diving equipment by
non certified divers is dangerous and can
lead to serious accidents, or even death, to
the diver and his/her diving mates.
During the assembly and regulation of the
regulator, every step was taken to ensure
high reliability of the product in time.
These steps however may become ineffec-
tive if the regulator is not used correctly and
if adequate maintenance is not provided.
Seac Diving Pro s.r.l declines any liability
for any problem arising from non-compli-
ance with the instructions contained in
this handbook.
For any other problem, please contact your
dealer or directly Seac Diving Pro. Only la-
boratories authorized by Seac Diving Pro
may carry out repairs or maintenance.
Seac Diving Pro diving regulators are the
result of a research carried out in close co-
operation with many professional divers.
Their innovative features ensure a reliabi-
lity which remains unchanged even after a
long series of dives. At the same time, their
easy mechanics and operation allow an ex-
tremely simple maintenance.
If you are not experienced in the use of
this equipment, we strongly advise you to
get familiar with its operation during test
diving in shallow waters and under favora-
ble conditions; if needed, contact a quali-
fied instructor for a refresher course.
This diving regulator has been certified ac-
cording to standard EN 250: 2000 which
provides a long series of functional tests
up to a maximum depth of 50 meters and
at a temperature of 4 degrees centigrade
(test tolerance range -2°C/ +0°C).
Warning!
This diving regulator has been designed to be
used with normal atmospheric air complying
with the specifications of standard EN 12001.
Danger!
Do not use this or any other product of the
Seac Diving Pro line with other gases or oxy-
gen enriched air mixtures (usually known as
NITROX). Failure to follow this recommenda-
tion could cause serious accidents or even
death, due to fire or explosions, or seriously
damage your equipment.
Introduction Reference to European Standard EN 250: 2000
The Seac Diving Pro regulators described in
this handbook were tested and certified by
the notified testing body 0474 RINA, Genoa
office (Italy) in compliance with Directive
89/686/EEC of 21 December 1989.
Tests were carried out in compliance with stan-
dard EN 250: 2000, implementing the above Di-
rective, which defines the conditions of sale
and the essential safety requirements of Third-
Category Individual Protection devices (DPI).
CE marking means compliance with the essen-
tial health and safety requirements (Ann. II DE
89/686/EEC). Number 0474 near “CE“ identifies
the notified testing Body RINA in charge of pro-
duction control under Art. 11B DE 89/686/EEC.
The certification obtained for the DIAMOND,
DIAMOND ICE, and DIAMOND OCTO provides
possible use in both of the following categories:
Regulators for non-cold waters, having a
water temperature equal to or exceeding
+10° C
Regulators for cold waters, having a water
temperature lower than +10° C
In compliance with standard EN 250 : 2000,
waters are considered cold when their tem-
perature is lower than + 10° C.
