Air Z
With its new decompression model and with the calculation of air-time Aladin
®
Air Z offers a so far un-
reached level of safety. However, responsibility for the dive finally remains with the diver as before. The
usual diving caution is still absolutely necessary when diving with Aladin
®
Air Z.
In case of diver mistakes (ignoring decompression stops, excessive ascent rate etc.) Aladin
®
Air Z can calcu-
late a corrected ascent instruction immediately which minimizes the occurrence of decompression sickness.
The prevention of barotrauma and nitrogen narcosis still lies in the hands of the diver.
Aladin

Air Z is a highly developed technical instrument of high reliability. Despite this the user of the
Aladin
®
Air Z is to have an understanding of the physiological interrelations, to know the use of decom-
pression tables and to have them on every dive.
Should an incident occur, the detailed previous history of the incident is stored in the dive computer. The
evaluation of these records allows better diagnosis and the most effective treatment for the diver.
