2. Decompression (diving) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_(diving)

   A no-decompression dive, or more accurately, a dive with no-stop decompression, relies on limiting the ascent rate for avoidance of excessive bubble formation in the fastest tissues. The elapsed time at surface pressure immediately after a dive is also an important part of decompression and can be thought of as the last decompression stop of a ...

3. Decompression equipment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_equipment

   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.

4. Pyle stop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyle_stop

   Technical diver decompressing after a mixed gas dive to 60m. A Pyle stop is a type of short, optional deep decompression stop performed by scuba divers at depths well below the first decompression stop mandated by a conventional dissolved phase decompression algorithm, such as the US Navy or Bühlmann decompression algorithms.

   NAUI's RGBM decompression tables were developed in 1997 exclusively for NAUI by Dr. Bruce Wienke and Tim O'Leary. [64] NAUI began publishing the only decompression manual with a full set of RGBM tables in 2000 for air, nitrox and trimix for both open and closed-circuit diving. Recreational RGBM no-calculation tables were published in 2001 ...

6. US Navy decompression models and tables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Navy_decompression...

   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.

7. Decompression practice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_practice

   Decompression status is the assumed gas loading of the diver's tissues, based on the chosen decompression model, and either calculated by a dive computer or estimated from dive tables by the diver or diving supervisor, and an indication of the decompression stress that will be incurred by decompressing to a lower ambient pressure. The ...

8. Haldane's decompression model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane's_decompression_model

   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 intrepid self-experimentation.

9. Decompression theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_theory

   Basic decompression theory and use of decompression tables is part of the theory component of training for commercial divers, [130] 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.
