WARNINGS:
• Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUBA dives, combined with the effects of multiple rapid
Free Dive ascents, increases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in accelerated entry into
decompression which could cause serious injury or death.
• Combining competitive type Free Dive activities that involve multiple descents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA during
the same 24 hour period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.
• It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in competitive type Free dive activities obtain proper
instruction and training from a recognized Free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects be understood
and the diver is physically prepared.
• If your F10v3 stops working for any reason while operating in Free Dive Mode, it is important that you have anticipated
this possibility and are prepared for it.
• If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by losing the use of your
F10v3, a backup instrument system is highly recommended.
