The PADI recreational dive planner, in "Wheel" format. The Recreational Dive Planner (or RDP) is a decompression table in which no-stop time underwater is calculated. [1] The RDP was developed by DSAT and was the first dive table developed exclusively for no-stop recreational diving. [2]
The intended dive profile is useful as a planning tool as an indication of the risks of decompression sickness and oxygen toxicity for the exposure, to calculate a decompression schedule for the dive, and also for estimating the volume of open-circuit breathing gas needed for a planned dive, as these depend in part upon the depth and duration ...
A decompression schedule is a specified ascent rate and series of increasingly shallower decompression stops—usually for increasing amounts of time—that a diver performs to outgas inert gases from their body during ascent to the surface to reduce the risk of decompression sickness. In a decompression dive, the decompression phase may make ...
After her rescue, Austin Pets Alive provided Shepard with initial care that amounted to about $500. They said she required specialized attention due to “seizures and a possible leg injury." Read ...
A conventional decompression profile, based on a dissolved gas model algorithm, will result in a diver ascending relatively quickly through shorter deep stops before spending a great deal of time at the shallower stops (resulting in a much sharper angle in the depth/time graph of the ascent profile), ratio deco will allow a diver to dynamically ...
Trooper the dog earned his name. On Oct. 19, rescuers from Sunshine Animal Rescue in Miami found the canine abandoned in a rock pit. The Florida nonprofit regularly checks the rock pit where it ...
What is commonly known as no-decompression diving, or more accurately no-stop decompression, relies on limiting ascent rate for avoidance of excessive bubble formation. [16] The procedures used for decompression depend on the mode of diving, the available equipment, the site and environment and the actual dive profile.
The addiction involves genetic predisposition, corrupted brain chemistry, entrenched environmental factors and any number of potential mental-health disorders — it requires urgent medical intervention. According to the medical establishment, medication coupled with counseling is the most effective form of treatment for opioid addiction.
