ALTITUDE DIVING
Atmospheric pressure decreases as Altitude increases above sea level. Weather systems and am-
bient temperature also affect barometric pressures. Consequently, depth reading instruments that
do not compensate for the decrease in ambient pressure indicate depth readings shallower than
the depth they are actually at.
The Profile automatically compensates for decreased ambient pressures for Altitudes between
2,000 (610 meters) and 14,000 feet (4,267 meters). Its program contains a high altitude algo-
rithm that reduces no decompression and oxygen exposure limits to add a larger zone of caution.
The Profile senses ambient pressure when it is manually activated, every 15 minutes while it is
activated, or every 30 minutes when it is not activated. At an Altitude of 2,000 feet (610 meters),
it will automatically recalibrate itself to measure depth in feet of fresh water rather than feet of
sea water. It will then readjust the no decompression limits at additional intervals of 1,000 feet
(305 meters). Therefore, when returning to lower Altitudes, diving should not be conducted until
the unit automatically clears of any residual nitrogen and oxygen loading and resets to operate at
the new lower Altitude.
WARNING: Diving at high altitude requires special knowledge of the
variations imposed upon divers, their activities, and their equipment by
the decrease in atmospheric pressures. Sherwood Scuba recommends
completion of a specialized Altitude training course by a recognized
training agency prior to diving in high altitude lakes or rivers.
