A NOTE is used to emphasize an important maintenance technique.

A CAUTION is used before a maintenance technique that will result in damage to parts if that

technique is not followed carefully.

Throughout this manual reference is made to the term 'breathing gas'. The rationale being that the Wisdom 3 can be used

for Air dives or Nitrox dives. For clarity, these terms are dened as -

Breathing Gas - the gaseous mixture breathed during a dive.

Air - a breathing gas that contains approximately 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen (nature's common nitrogen-oxygen

mixture).

Nitrox - a nitrogen-oxygen breathing gas that contains a higher fraction of oxygen (22 to 50%) than air.
