 There are few legitimate excuses for making unplanned Decompression dives,

and the consequences of this type of diving can be severe. By making an un-

planned Decompression dive without the necessary preparation and training, you

will have placed yourself in an unnecessarily dangerous situation. Allow a sur-

face interval of at least 24 hours before reentering the water in the event a dive re-

quires emergency decompression.

 By entering decompression, you automatically impose a ceiling above you which

you cannot immediately ascend beyond, denying you free access to the surface.

 Exiting the water with the Nitrogen Bar Graph in the red DECO zone greatly in-

creases the risk of decompression sickness, and may result in injury or death.

 Existing data for making planned decompression dives is extremely limited, and

virtually nonexistent for repetitive decompression diving. Decompression diving

greatly increases your risk of decompression sickness.

 Special training, equipment, and support are necessary for planned decompres-

sion diving and diving deeper than the recommended sport diving limit(s).

 Decompression diving will greatly increase your risk of decompression sickness.

 If your ATMOS

stops working for any reason, it is important that you have an-

ticipated this possibility and are prepared for it. This is an important reason for

not pushing the no decompression and oxygen accumulation limits, and a critical

reason to avoid entering decompression.

 If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be

jeopardized by losing the use of your ATMOS

, an analog or digital backup in-

strument system and use of standard air (or nitrox) tables is highly recom-

mended.
