Ice diving, cave diving and other hazardous diving practices require specific training and should
be performed by experienced divers. Each involve unique procedures for both preparing a dive
and exectuing a dive. OCEAN REEF products are made for all types of diving IF and only if
the diver is trained, highly experienced and well versed in those conditions and has properly
conducted safe excersises with his new gear addition. By no means the high performance of the
product, or added comfort and safety provided by it, should overtake responsability for knowing
one's limits/health conditions and abilities.
Neptune III is not CE certified to be used with NITROX! SL35TX 1st stage can't be used with
NITROX. Always use NITROX compatible 1st stages when NITROX is required.
The Neptune III mask can be used with NITROX mixes up to 40% O
use cleaned air from a specified cleaned air source.
Note: not valid in the European Union.
The Neptune III mask is Nitrox compatible up to 40% of oxygen. (NOT valid in the European
Countries).
To prevent severe and potentially lethal injuries DO NOT dive using Nitrox (oxygen enriched
air) mixes unless you have first obtained adequate training and certification in their use by a
recognized certification agency.
Maximum operating depth (MOD) and exposure times to Nitrox (oxygen enriched air) mixes are
dependent upon the oxygen concentration of the mix in use.
The term Nitrox (oxygen enriched air) defines breathable mixes composed of oxygen and nitrogen and
containing oxygen in a percentage higher than 21% (atmospheric air). The higher oxygen concentration
limits the use of these mixes with standard scuba equipment and requires the use of materials and
procedures that differ from those required by the use of atmospheric air.
USE OF NITROX MIXES OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Standard production OCEAN REEF regulators distributed to countries outside of the European Community
use normal INT or DIN connections and are manufactured with materials, assembly procedures and
lubricants that ensure compatibility with gas mixes containing oxygen up to 40%. In these countries, users
are required to follow the same safety procedures that apply to dedicated Nitrox regulators and to comply
with the regulations set by each country concerning the use on Nitrox mixes for diving.
