Operation Manual

EMERGENCY DECOMPRESSION

There are few legitimate excuses for making unplanned Decompression dives,

and the consequences of this type of diving can be severe. Decompression div-

ing requires special training and support. The DataTrans Plus is intended

for use by recreational divers not engaged in intentional decompres-

sion diving. Decompression features are provided only for emer-

gency situations. By entering decompression, you automatically impose a

“ceiling” above you which you cannot immediately ascend beyond, denying you

free access to the surface.

Professional military and commercial divers plan ahead for this situation by

ensuring that they have complete surface support, including a redundant

breathing gas supply for emergencies. They also navigate very carefully

throughout their dive to ensure that they begin and complete their ascent

while maintaining contact with a rope or a line to the surface. This is neces-

sary for making a well controlled ascent. The DataTrans Plus is not in-

tended for use by military or commercial divers.

By making an unplanned Decompression dive without the necessary prepara-

tion and training, you will have placed yourself in an unnecessarily danger-

ous situation. Consider also, that one mistake can quickly be compounded by

several others.
