To prevent or minimize decompression sickness, divers must properly plan, conduct, and monitor decompression. Divers follow a decompression model to allow the release of excess inert gases dissolved i

…profile data in real time. Most dive computers use real-time ambient pressure input to a decompression algorithm to indicate the remaining time to the no-stop limit, and after that has passed, the minimum decompression required to surface with an acceptable risk of decompression sickness. Several algorithms have…
