OXYGEN EXPOSURE
There are few legitimate excuses for exceeding the maximum limits for expo-
sure to oxygen, and the consequences of CNS (Central Nervous System) oxy-
gen toxicity can be severe, resulting in Gran Mal convulsions and drowning.
Diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) mixtures requires special train-
ing and certification.
WARNING: The oxygen features of the DataTrans Plus are in-
tended for use only by recreational divers trained for nitrox
diving by an instructor certified by a recognized training
agency to teach diving with nitrox. The DataTrans Plus is not
intended for use by military or commercial divers.
By making a nitrox dive without the necessary training, preparation, and
equipment, you will have placed yourself in an unnecessarily dangerous situ-
ation. The DataTrans Plus is a sophisticated instrument designed with capa-
bilities that go beyond the range of recreational diving with compressed air. It
should not be considered, however, that these built-in capabilities
provide any implied approval or consent from Oceanic for individu-
als to exceed the defined limits of oxygen exposure, as agreed on by
all internationally recognized nitrox training agencies. Nitrox diving
should therefore be strictly controlled.
