Page 3: Freediving Manual
FREEDIVING MANUAL Congratulations on your purchase of a SEAC diving computer. The SEAC Apnea dive computer is a technologically advanced device designed and manufactured to provide all the information that every diver needs. Periodically check www.seacsub.com for any updates to this manual. - Page 4 • WARNING! It is strictly forbidden to freedive in the 12 hours after diving with scuba equipment! Violating this rule could considerably increase the risk of decompression sickness. • WARNING! No fly time after a freediving session Because no in-depth hyperbaric studies are available that are sufficient to evaluate the safety of flying for freedivers, in order to avoid decompression sickness following deep freedives, it is recommended that you wait 18 to 24 hours before boarding a plane, depending on the total dive time, the...

Page 8: Functions Of The Apnea Computer
FUNCTIONS OF THE APNEA COMPUTER Software a) MSST Minimum Suggested Surface Time The MSST is minimum interval of time on the surface that is suggested between two dives to reduce freediving risks. • WARNING! The minimum suggested recovery times between two dives indicated by the MSST calculation can reduce, but not eliminate, the risks of accidents caused by freediving, such as syncope, Taravana, and/or hemoptysis, because there are many other factors to consider, such as age, body... - Page 9 APNEA b) Hydration • WARNING! It is well known that dehydration, along with other freediving conditions and the freediver's physical condition, can contribute to freediving accidents. To reduce these risks, the Apnea computer periodically reminds the freediver to hydrate by drinking water. In every session, the reminder to hydrate will be displayed about every 2 hours.
