DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the DataMax Pro simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is a way to apply a
limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The DataMax Pro dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression
theory. Still, using the DataMax Pro, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No-decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e.
“the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, it even varies from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
The DataMax Pro is intended for use by divers who have successfully completed a nationally recognized course in scuba diving. It must not be used by
untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks and hazards of scuba diving. You must obtain proper training before using the DataMax
Pro if you have not already done so. You also must read this owner’s guide completely before diving with the DataMax Pro.
Good diving practices dictate that you plan all of your dives utilizing appropriate dive tables together with this computer which is designed to aid you in both
planning and execution of your dives.
