Air Z
What can further increase your diving pleasure? The good feeling of having the greatest possible freedom
of movement plus the highest possible safety. A dive computer which constantly monitors the data of your
dive and your individual conduct meets these requirements. Aladin
®
Air Z watches over the gas saturation
of your body without interruption. With Aladin
®
Air Z you dive
more safely than ever before, although you can make more of your diving time thanks to the exact calcu-
lation of the air-supply. In addition, Aladin
®
Air Z offers unmatched comfort and ease of operation. Aladin
®
Air Z gives you increased safety due to the new calculation model.
All the information necessary for safe diving are combined in one instrument.

Air Z – Your Personal Companion
By considering your individual conduct, workload and temperature changes, Aladin
®
Air Z is your personal
control instrument. Aladin

Air Z relies on the latest results of medical and physiological research for the
calculation of decompression. This research has helped in the development of an adaptive calculation
model unique to the present day.

Air Z was exclusively developed for diving with compressed air and distinguishes itself from other
commercial diving computers by a number of new functions:
• The new calculation model ZH-L8 ADT considers for the first time 8 body tissues, the diver’s conduct and
the ambient conditions. Therefore, a more precise decompression indication is possible for risk situati-
ons, which increases safety in these cases.
• The measurements of scuba tank pressure are transmitted to Aladin
®
Air Z by means of a transmitter.
Faulty transmission of data between transmitter and Aladin
®
Air Z is prevented by a number of precau-
tions. Tank pressure can easily be checked at any time. In addition, the pressure rates allow calculation
of the diver’s air consumption and a prediction of the remaining air time at the current depth. The cal-
culation for RBT (Remaining Bottom Time) – the time left to the diver until he must start the ascent accor-
ding to the calculated decompression programme – therefore includes consideration of tank pressure
and the individual diver’s rate of air consumption.
