WARNINGS:
Ensure that you know which Operating Mode is selected
(NORM, GAUG, or FREE) prior to commencing any dive.
Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after
conducting SCUBA dives, combined with the effects of
multiple rapid Free Dive ascents, increases your risk of
decompression sickness. Such activities may result in
accelerated entry into decompression which could cause
serious injury or death.
Combining competitive type Free dive activities that involve
multiple descents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA
during the same 24 hour period is not recommended.
Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.
It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become
involved in competitive type Free dive activities obtain
proper instruction and training from a recognized Free
Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects
be understood and the diver is physically prepared.
If your GEO stops working for any reason while operating
as a Dive Computer, it is important that you have anticipated
this possibility and are prepared for it. This is an important
reason for not pushing the no decompression and oxygen
exposure limits, and a critical reason to avoid entering
decompression. If you dive in situations where your trip
would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by
losing the use of your GEO, a backup instrument system is
highly recommended.
