The US Navy has used several decompression models from which their published decompression tables and authorized diving computer algorithms have been derived. The original C&R tables used a classic multiple independent parallel compartment model based on the work of J.S.Haldane in England in the early 20th century, using a critical ratio exponential ingassing and outgassing model.
Decompression practice. Divers using the anchor cable as an aid to depth control during a decompression stop during ascent. To prevent or minimize decompression sickness, divers must properly plan and monitor decompression. Divers follow a decompression model to safely allow the release of excess inert gases dissolved in their body tissues ...
The Thalmann Algorithm (VVAL 18) is a deterministic decompression model originally designed in 1980 to produce a decompression schedule for divers using the US Navy Mk15 rebreather. [1] It was developed by Capt. Edward D. Thalmann, MD, USN, who did research into decompression theory at the Naval Medical Research Institute, Navy Experimental ...
Basic decompression theory and use of decompression tables is part of the theory component of training for commercial divers, [129] and dive planning based on decompression tables, and the practice and field management of decompression is a significant part of the work of the diving supervisor.
Saturation diver conducts deep sea salvage operations. Saturation diving is diving for periods long enough to bring all tissues into equilibrium with the partial pressures of the inert components of the breathing gas used. It is a diving mode that reduces the number of decompressions divers working at great depths must undergo by only ...
Haldane's Decompression Tables I and II. Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient pressure that was proposed in 1908 by the Scottish physiologist, John Scott Haldane (2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936), [1] who was also famous for ...
BSAC nitrox decompression tables The PADI Nitrox tables are laid out in what has become a common format for no-stop recreational tables. Dive tables or decompression tables are tabulated data, often in the form of printed cards or booklets, that allow divers to determine a decompression schedule for a given dive profile and breathing gas.

University of Michigan. Karl E. Huggins is an American decompression researcher and author of a set of air decompression tables for reduced risk and multi-level repetitive diving based on the US Navy tables modified to avoid Doppler ultrasound detectable vascular bubble production.
