Air Z

Aladin

Air Z also measures the atmospheric pressure in sleep-mode. If the

computer detects a higher altitude section, it switches into surface-mode auto-

matically. Desaturation time indicated at this moment refers to adaptation time

at this altitude. If diving starts within this adaptation time, Aladin

Air Z treats

it as a repetitive dive, since the body still has a higher saturation.

The entire altitude range is divided into four sections which are influenced by meteorological circum-

stances. That is why the following altitude sections overlap on their fringes. The altitude section is indi-

cated at the surface, in the logbook and in the dive planner by stylized mountains, if a mountain lake

altitude is reached. Section 0 is not indicated. In the following, you can see the approximate altitude ranges

of the four sections:
