Aladin Max Stop Depth

Anyone know the deepest first stop depth that an Aladin Pro will
suggest / demand?

6m, 9m or deeper?

David

Not too sure, but by going into dive plan and running up 48m for 99 mins
gives a first stop of 5 minutes at 21m.

Surely that would depend upon the profile......... But as for suggest
or demand... hmmmm..... your call. For the helicopter that is.

27m. You really have to go some to get it that far though. IIRC that
its depth sensor (or display) is only good for 129m too. They only seem to
go to 188 minutes of dive time too before wrapping round to zero. (So 200
minutes reads as 12)

They implode round about 170m I'm told.

This must be some alternative deifiition of "only" I am unfamiliar
with!

Thanks to Gordon and Andrew for useful replies.

Gordon's absolutely right. They just get to 129m and stop there. If it's set
to feet it's the same depth - 427 fsw - so presumably it's the sensor. The
older ones go much deeper - I still have a few for that reason. Many have
been to over 200m without problems. They also keep computing beyond what's
on the display. On one dive I managed to get the total ascent time to over
99 minutes. We'd been decompressing for 15 minutes (deepest stop was 24m
IIRC) before it clicked down to 98. That's when we knew it would be a loong
hang. Luckily it was in warm water in Belize.
