4.2 Advantages

On the first dives following responsible diving procedures,
a diver using the Aladin ®
decompression stops, although a three to five minute
safety stop between 3 and 9 metres is recommended
for every dive. If, however, unplanned circumstances arise
during the dive which increase the risk of decompression,
the Aladin ® Pro Nitrox can, if closely followed, reduce
the risk of decompression sickness by reducing remaining
bottom time and/or increasing decompression time.
Some of the more common risk situations are as follows:
• Repetitive dives, especially those deeper than 20
metres and those with short surface intervals.
• Repetitive diving over the course of several
successive days.
• Diving with increased workloads.
• Yo-yo diving (repeated descents and ascents to the
surface during a given dive).
• Flying within 24 hours after diving.

With its new decompression model the Aladin
Nitrox is an extremely versatile tool which can increase
your diving comfort and safety. As with any diving
tool, however, ultimate responsibility for diving safety
remains with the individual diver. The same responsible
diving practices taught by all diving certification
agencies are still absolutely necessary in order to safely
dive with the Aladin ®
Certain mistakes which may be made by a diver, such
as ascending at an excessive rate, going too deep, or
staying too long at depth, may be overcome if the
diver carefully follows the Aladin
