Lesson 111
Lesson Overview
Introduction - Using dive computers & Tables I
In the last subsection, you learned that to avoid decompression sickness, you have to keep body nitrogen levels within accepted limits that it can tolerate without forming bubbles. At present, there is no way, during a dive, to measure the actual nitrogen absorbed by your body. To reduce DCS risk, physiologists and scientists created mathematical decompression models to estimate the theoretical changes in nitrogen in your body before, during and after a dive. As a diver, you use these models by using a dive computer or dive tables like the Recreational Dive Planner (table or eRDPML electronic table versions).
