Decompression tables, also known to divers as dive tables, are tabulated data, often in the form of printed cards or booklets, that allow people to determine a decompression schedule that is acceptabl
Decompression practice
…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…
