pDCS=0.66 use deco gas?

[KenGordon]

Suppose a dive profile has a pDCS of 1.33 on best mix. Suppose that getting bent is very bad with a 50% chance of death due to location etc.

Would you do this dive or use a deco mix to reduce the pDCS?

 

[Dsix36]

Why does the title say pDCS=0.66 but your post says pDCS=1.33 ?

What is pDCS ? What determines that number?

 

[runsongas]

probability of DCS. based on empirical evidence from dives.

50% chance of death means this would be a serious type 2 hit. current navy guidance is 0.1% for type 2, so it would be 6.6 to 13.3 times more risky.

more deco and have a contingency plan for IWR.

Do you mean 1.33%?

 

[PfcAJ]

None of this makes sense.

 

[Celt]

That’s a lot of suppose,s why not simply name the dive and the reasons for it. No one is going to take a risk without a reason.

 

[KenGordon]

Do you mean 1.33%?

Yes.

Say it is a model that results in that probability. This is a question about risk acceptance.

Are you saying 1.33% pDCS and 0.66 pDeath too high?

 

[Angelo Farina]

I would not make that dive.

time for some education on pDSC and its computation etc. Im always open for learning something new.
