RESPONSIBLE COMPUTER DIVING
Since the advent of dive computers, it is a common mistake to assume that the old traditional rules of
diving no longer apply, but the truth is just the opposite. Keep these basic rules in mind:
 Plan each dive, and dive your plan - Your computer was not designed to make decisions for you, only
to provide you with the information you need to make responsible decisions for yourself. This begins
with a dive plan that will help you avoid a low air or decompression situation.
 Do not plan any dive that exceeds your training or experience level.
 Inspect your computer before every dive - If it shows any signs of damage or abnormal function, DO
NOT dive with it until it has received factory service.
 Make your deepest dive first - When making repetitive dives, it is imperative to ensure that each con-
secutive dive is shallower than the one before. This will allow your body's slower tissues to continue
outgassing nitrogen.
 Make the deepest part of your dive first, and gradually work your way to the surface using a stair-
case profile - The ability to perform multilevel diving is one of the most important contributions of a
dive computer, and you should take advantage of it. It will increase your bottom time and at the same
time decrease your risk of decompression sickness.
 Ascend slowly by following an ascent line whenever possible, or by ascending diagonally toward the
surface - Watch the Ascent Rate Indicator closely while you ascend, and keep it in the green zone as
much as possible.
 Make a safety stop at 15 feet (4.5 m) at the end of every dive. A safety stop of 3 minutes has been
shown to have a dramatic effect on the bubble formation in divers. It's important. Don't forget it.
 You should make every effort to complete all of your ascents with the Nitrogen Bar Graph inside the
green zone.
If you inadvertently entered Decompression Mode, you must not complete your ascent until the Nitro-
gen Bar Graph is at least inside the yellow Caution Zone.
 While you cannot provide a guarantee against the occurrence of decompression sickness, you may
choose your own personal zone of caution based upon your individual age, physique, excessive
weight, training, experience, etc. to reduce the statistical risk. By 'backing off' on the bar graph
(maintaining fewer segments) and not pushing the limits, you can establish and adjust your personal
level of conservatism and margin of safety.
