Section 5.2.4. ”Altitude Adjustment and Personal Adjustment
Setting” describes how the Altitude Mode is adjusted.
Traveling to a higher elevation can temporarily cause a chan-
ge in the equilibrium of dissolved nitrogen in the body. It is re-
commended that you acclimate to the new altitude by waiting
at least three hours before making a dive.
5.1.4. PERSONAL ADJUSTMENTS
There are adverse personal factors for DCI which divers can
predict in advance and input into the decompression model.
Factors that may affect susceptibility to decompression illness
vary between divers and also for the same diver from one day
to another. The three-step Personal Adjustment Mode is avai-
lable, if a more conservative dive plan is desired. For very ex-
perienced divers, a two step adjustment for RGBM effect on
repetitive dives is available.
