fatigue, and dehydration. All these conditions and all those
that can jeopardize your safety should be avoided.
IMPORTANT: this device should be used by certified
divers only. No dive computer can actually replace proper
training. Do remember that dive safety can be ensured by
proper training only.
IMPORTANT: The Archimede Cressi-sub dive computer
has been designed for recreational diving and not for pro-
fessional applications requiring prolonged immersion time
with subsequently increased DCS risk.
IMPORTANT: check your dive computer before use, by
checking battery power and that all LCD segments are
properly displayed. DO NOT dive, if the dive computer
instructions are unclear and, above all, if the low battery
icon is displayed.
IMPORTANT: for your dive, you also need a depth
gauge, a pressure gauge, a timer or a clock, and decom-
pression tables. Always check that the cylinder pressure is
appropriate for the planned dive and, during the dive, use
the pressure gauge to regularly check the amount of air
remaining in your cylinders.
DANGER: Never start your altitude dive, before the
dive computer has automatically set the proper program
for altitude calculation. Check the altitude level on the dis-
play. Remember that in case of dives at more than 9843 ft
above sea level, the risk of DCS is significantly higher.
DANGER: Before any flight travel, wait for the "No Fly
Time" Icon to disappear from the dive computer display.
IMPORTANT: The use of this dive computer is strictly per-
sonal. The information it provides exclusively refers to the
diver who has used it during the single or repetitive dives.
DANGER: Cressi-sub advises you against using this
dive computer for decompression dives. However, should
you exceed the safety curve limits, Archimede Cressi-
Sub dive computer can supply you with all the information
you need for decompression, ascent, as well as proper
surface interval time .
DANGER: Never dive with a Nitrox cylinder without
having personally checked its content and the proper O2
percentage. You should then input this value in the com-
puter. Remember that the dive computer does not accept
FO2 decimal figures. Always round down the figure
(example 35.8% must be rounded down to 35%).
DANGER: for safety reasons, in your Archimede dive
computer, PO2 default value is set at 1.4 bar also for dives
with air. If you need to further raise the safety margin, PO2
can be set at lower values, down to 1.0 bar, with 0.1bar
decreases at a time.
DANGER: : avoid all high risk profile dives, such as the
so called "yo-yo" dives, reversed profile dives, or repetitive
dives in the same day or in consecutive days. They are
potentially risky and involve a high risk of DCS!
IMPORTANT: Turn on the safety factor whenever you
realize that there are factors likely to increase your DCS
risk. You will thus perform a more conservative dive.
NOTE: When flying, it is recommended to keep the dive
computer with you in the pressurized cabin.
