5. APNEA
MODE
5.1 Switching the Apnea
mode on and off
Apnea mode can be switched on and
off like Gauge mode, when there is no
desaturation and no apnea dives have
been made in the last 48 hours.
WARNING
Apnea diving after SCUBA diving is
not recommended. Check the latest
recommendation from your Instructor or
Diving organization.
WARNING
Aladin 2G doesn’t track nitrogen intake to your
body at Apnea mode. Therefore no fly time
after Apnea diving is set to 48 hours. Also
SCUBA diving after Apnea is recommended
only after sufficient surface time. Check the
latest recommendation from your Instructor or
Diving organization.
Procedure:
1. From the time of the
day display
push
or
until ALGO is displayed.
2. Confirm with
that you wish to
activate or deactivate the Apnea mode.

WARNING
SCUBAPRO highly recommends professional
training in apnea or free diving techniques
and physiology before conducting breath
hold dives. No dive computer can replace the
need for proper dive training. Insufficient or
improper training may cause a diver to commit
errors that can lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING
Deep repetitive Apnea dives are not
recommended; leave enough recovery time
between your Apnea dives.
WARNING
All breath hold dives include a risk of shallow
water blackout, that is, a sudden loss of
consciousness due to oxygen starvation.
Apnea diving is the most natural form of
diving, known also as Free diving or Breath
hold diving. Due to specific demands on
Apnea diving, Aladin
2G has now this
mode integrated.
Apnea mode is comparable to Gauge
mode, it doesn’t have a dive algorithm and
all decisions are left to the diver. Therefore
SCUBAPRO recommends:
1. Never apnea dive alone.
2. Make only apnea dives which your
education and physical condition allow.
In apnea diving fast descents and ascents
are allowed. Therefore Aladin
2G uses
faster sampling of the depth for higher
accuracy. Aladin
2G updates display
and maximum depth every 15 seconds,
logbook is updated every second.
