Introduction
DIVING RESPONSIBLY
Years of research and thousands of dives have gone into the mathematical formulas used by the Monitor 3 Air. However, the computer does not have special sensors attached to your body; it doesn’t know if you are tired, dehydrated, overweight, or out of shape. For this reason, U.S. Divers recommends that you never push the
WARNING: Using the Monitor 3 Air will not prevent the possibility of decompression sickness, but using it sensibly reduces this risk. Any sport diver, however, must accept that there is no device or procedure which will totally prevent the possibility of a decompression accident.
