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

    The decompression tables or software used to plan the dive, [22] The equipment used to control and monitor depth and dive time, such as: personal dive computers, depth gauges, and timers, [23] Shot lines, surface marker buoys (SMBs), Decompression buoys (DSMBs) and decompression trapezes [23] diving stages (baskets), wet and dry bells,

    Decompression (diving) – Pressure reduction and its effects during ascent from depth; Decompression sickness – Disorder caused by dissolved gases forming bubbles in tissues; Decompression theory – Theoretical modelling of decompression physiology; Dive computer – Instrument to calculate decompression status in real time

  4. Ratio decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_decompression

    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 ...

  5. Dive planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dive_planning

    The calculations assume that the dive profile, including decompression, is known, but the process may be iterative, involving changes to the dive profile as a consequence of the gas requirement calculation, or changes to the gas mixtures chosen. [11] [5] Scuba gas planning includes the following aspects: [11] [5] Choice of breathing gases

  6. 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.

  7. Decompression equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_equipment

    Decompression may be shortened ("accelerated") by breathing an oxygen-rich "decompression gas" such as a nitrox blend or pure oxygen. The high partial pressure of oxygen in such decompression mixes produces the effect known as the oxygen window. [1] This decompression gas is often carried by scuba divers in side-slung cylinders.

  8. Decompression practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_practice

    Decompression may be shortened (or accelerated) by breathing an oxygen-rich "deco gas" such as a nitrox with 50% or more oxygen. The high partial pressure of oxygen in such decompression mixes create the effect of the oxygen window. [74] This decompression gas is often carried by scuba divers in side-slung cylinders.

    In 2000, IANTD introduced a free-diver program prepared by Divetech Ltd of Grand Cayman. [ 3 ] On January 7, 2016 IANTD becomes the first agency in the scuba industry to acknowledge digitally validated logs as an official proof of diving experience, [ 4 ] furthermore it declares Diviac its official digital logbook.
