The diver is then surfaced and pressurised in a chamber to 50 fsw (15 msw) within 5 minutes of leaving 40 ft depth in the water. If this "surface interval" from 40 ft in the water to 50 fsw in the chamber exceeds 5 minutes, a penalty is incurred, as this indicates a higher risk of DCS symptoms developing, so longer decompression is required.
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.
In the case of underwater diving and compressed air work, this mostly involves ambient pressures greater than the local surface pressure—but astronauts, high altitude mountaineers, and occupants of unpressurised aircraft, are exposed to ambient pressures less than standard sea level atmospheric pressure.
Stig Åvall Severinsen (born 8 March 1973) is a Danish freediver.He is a four-time world freediving champion and holder of multiple Guinness World Records.He also wrote Træk Vejret – mere energi, mindre stress (2009), published in English in 2010 as Breatheology – The Art of Conscious Breathing.
Dive planning is the process of planning an underwater diving operation. The purpose of dive planning is to increase the probability that a dive will be completed safely and the goals achieved. [1] Some form of planning is done for most underwater dives, but the complexity and detail considered may vary enormously. [2]
At depth + 5 minutes, (@+5), shows the effect on time to surface of remaining at the current depth on the current breathing gas for five more minutes. The display will show the amended TTS. [36] Delta + 5 (Δ+5) is the change in time to surface if remaining at the same depth on the same gas for 5 minutes longer.

The Catalina treatment table is a modification of Treatment Table 6. Oxygen cycles are 20 minutes, and air breaks 5 minutes. The full Catalina Table allows for up to 5 extensions at 60 fsw. [18] Shorter versions include: 3 oxygen cycles at 60 fsw followed by a minimum of 6 oxygen cycles at 30 fsw. (equivalent to USN Table 6)
