Your Air Line is designed for shallow water, unobstructed diving and should never be used in
enclosed areas, such as caves, shipwrecks or ledge overhangs. Air Line diving requires most of
the same skills as Scuba, but there are a few important differences. Your unit has the capability
of running for long periods of time (much longer than Scuba) and therefore requires EXTRA
ATTENTION TO DEPTHS AND DOWN- TIME. The rules for decompression are
identical regardless of the air source. You are cautioned to never dive past a no-
decompression limit on any surface supplied air system. Should the motor be accidentally
turned off, the consequences would be very serious if you did indeed exceed no-decompression
limits.
Even though compressor diving feels as free as snorkeling, IT IS NOT. While you will
probably hold your breath during a snorkeling ascent, NEVER HOLD YOUR BREATH
WHILE ASCENDING WHEN USING A SURFACE AIR DEVICE. Always breathe in and
out. Should an out-of-air situation arise, at the very least you need to be expelling air
continuously while making an emergency ascent. Remember, your life and that of your fellow
divers rely on your good judgment. DON'T TAKE CHANCES. You have nothing to prove.
