Oceanic OC1 Operating Manual - Warnings

WARNINGS

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 

dive computer's calculations.  

Using an OC1 is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness.

The OC1 enters Violation Mode when a situation exceeds its capacity to 

predict an ascent procedure.  These dives represent gross excursions into 

decompression that are beyond the boundaries and spirit of the OC1's 

design.  If you are following these dive profiles, Oceanic advises that you 

should not use an OC1.

If you exceed certain limits, the OC1 will not be able to help you get safely 

back to the surface.  These situations exceed tested limits and can result 

in loss of some functions for 24 hours after the dive in which a violation 

occurred.
