• Always dive with back-up instruments. Make sure that you always use back-up instrumentation
including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, digital bottom timer or dive watch, and
have access to decompression tables whenever diving with a dive computer.
• Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo yo diving).
• Avoid repeated heavy workload while at depth.
• Plan the dives to be shorter if they are made in cold water.
• After finishing the decompression or at the end of a no-stop dive, the final stage of the ascent
should be as slow as possible.
• You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of decompression sickness before using SPORT!
Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any of these signs or symptoms
occur after a dive! There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of treatment and the delay
between the onset of symptoms and the treatment for decompression sickness.
• Only dive with Nitrox after you have been thoroughly instructed by a recognised institution.
Repetitive dives
• Do not start your next dive before your CNS O
• When diving with Nitrox, make sure your surface interval is long enough (just like diving with
compressed air). Plan for a minimum surface interval of two hours. Oxygen, too, needs sufficient
time to leave the body.
• Match gas mixture to the intended dive.
• Do not attempt a repetitive dive if the no-dive warning
• Plan a day without diving once a week.
• If you have to change computers, wait at least 48 hours before carrying out your next dive.
• Diving after a reset of the remaining saturation (reset, see page 33, or battery replacement, see
page 37) may lead you into potentially hazardous situations which could result in death or
serious injury. After a reset of the remaining saturation do not dive for at least 48 hours.
Altitude and diving
• Do not dive at altitudes higher than 4000m (13000ft).
• After a dive do not rise to altitudes that SPORT prohibits via the flashing altitude range number
(see page 27).
Flying after diving
•
After diving, wait at least 24 hours prior to flying.
