WARNINGS
Ensure that you know which Operating Mode is selected (NORM, GAUG,
or FREE) prior to commencing any dive.
Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUBA
dives, combined with the effects of multiple rapid Free Dive ascents, in-
creases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in
accelerated entry into decompression which could cause serious injury or
death.
Combining competitive type Free dive activities that involve multiple de-
scents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA during the same 24 hour
period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such
activities.
It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in
competitive type Free dive activities obtain proper instruction and training
from a recognized Free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiologi-
cal affects be understood and the diver is physically prepared.
