After the dive: • Watch for symptoms of arterial gas embolism and decompression sickness.
• Seek immediate medical attention at a recompression chamber should any
signs or symptoms of decompression sickness appear.
• Before the next dive, plan a sufficiently long interval (display <Atn> should have
disappeared).
An excessive ascent rate can lead to serious injury or death from decompres-
sion sickness or lung expansion injuries. Failure to seek IMMEDIATE treatment
for any signs or symptoms of decompression sickness after a dive may result
in serious injury or death.
Situation 2: The diver disregards the prescribed decompression depth.
Reaction of computer: The model calculates the formation of bubbles due to ignoring decompression.
A longer (and eventually at greater depth) decompression is displayed in order
to assure sufficient time for desaturation. See page 50 and 62.
Recommended response of the diver
During the dive: • Descend to the prescribed decompression depth at once.
• Do not descend to greater depths during the dive.
• Observe the decompression prescribed by Aladin

.
After the dive: • Watch out for symptoms of arterial gas embolism and decompression sickness.
• Before the next dive, plan a sufficiently long interval (display <Atn> should have
disappeared).
• Failure to comply with all decompression information on the Aladin

may result in serious injury or death due to decompression sickness.
• There is a risk of decompression sickness on every dive even if all precautions
described in this manual are taken.
