WARNINGS and SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS relating to EXTREMES
• Special training, equipment, and support are necessary for diving deeper
than the maximum recommended depth limit for recreational diving,
generally agreed to be 130 FT (39 M) by most diving instruction authorities.
• Decompression diving, or diving deeper than 130 FT (39 M), will greatly
increase your risk of decompression sickness.
• Decompression diving is inherently hazardous and greatly increases your
risk of decompression sickness, even when performed according to the
PDC's calculations.
• Using a dive computer, just as using the U.S. Navy, or other, No
Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression
sickness.
• It is extremely important that you read and understand the Operating Manual
completely before attempting to dive using your Oceanic PDC.
NOTE: Refer to your Operating Manual for ascent rates and alarm values
that pertain to your specic model PDC.
