DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the PRODIGY simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is not
magic, merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The PRODIGY dive computer model is based upon the
latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the PRODIGY, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No-decompres-
sion Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, it even
varies from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
The PRODIGY is intended for use by divers who have successfully completed a nationally recognized course in scuba diving. It must not
be used by untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks and hazards of scuba diving. You must obtain proper
training before using the PRODIGY if you have not already done so. You also must read this owner’s guide completely before diving with
the PRODIGY.
