RESPONSIBLE COMPUTER DIVING
• Plan each dive, and dive your plan. The ZEN was not designed to make
decisions for you, only to provide you with the information you need to
make responsible decisions for yourself. This begins with a dive Plan that
will help you avoid a low air or decompression situation.
• Do not plan any dive that exceeds your training or experience level.
• Inspect your ZEN before every dive. If it shows any signs of damage or
abnormal function, DO NOT dive with it until it has received factory pre-
scribed service.
• Make a Safety Stop at 15 to 20 FT (4.5 to 6 M) at the end of every dive. It's
important, don't forget it.
• You should make every effort to complete all of your ascents with the
Nitrogen Bar Graph inside the normal No Decompression zone.
• If you inadvertently entered Decompression, you should not complete
your ascent until the Nitrogen Bar Graph is at least inside the No Decom-
pression Caution Zone.
• While you cannot provide a guarantee against the occurrence of decom-
pression sickness, you may choose your own personal zone of caution
based upon your individual age, physique, excessive weight, training,
experience, etc. to reduce the statistical risk. By not pushing the limits,
you can establish and adjust your personal level of conservatism and mar-
gin of safety.
