NOTE:
The following chapter deals with the
characteristics of diving with two
gases.
Aladin 2G enables you to use two different
Nitrox mixtures during the same dive.
Tank 1 contains the bottom mix (gas 1) and
tank d contains the deco mix (gas d).
Switching the deco gas option on and

During dives with two gas mixtures the
bottom mix (gas 1) contains the lower
fraction of oxygen. Aladin 2G will only
accept settings corresponding with this
order.
For gas mixtures having an oxygen percentage
of 80% or greater the ppO
