    Dive Tools Excel spreadsheet

    The sheets in this spreadsheet originally contained two other sheets called DIVE and DIVE_HELP. Those two sheets were spun off into version 30.0. You can find that spreadsheet in the advanced forum. The dive spreadsheet will calculate NDL and deco dive profiles showing you what the tissue...

    Question regarding Baker's Decolessons

    I have a question regarding the output of a decompression program written by Erik Baker, PE in the paper "Decolessons". His paper is attached below. There are two columns: Max %M-value and Gradient Factor (GF). The dive uses a GF of 30/75 and the output clearly shows the gradual increase of GF...

    Dive Calculation Spreadsheet

    Back by popular demand. Well, maybe not so popular. This is a major revision of a dive Excel spreadsheet (ss) I created that displays the tissue compartment pressures for up to five profiles. Each profile can contain four depths and times. The ss will support NDL and deco dives using any mix...

    Getting First Deco Stop with GF-Lo

    I'm working on a spreadsheet to display TC pressures and other dive data. I need to calculate the first deco stop based on GF-Lo. I saw this equation from Erik Baker's paper "Clearing up the confusion about deep stops": Tol. Depth = [P - (Psb + GF x (Mo - Psb))] / (dM x GF - GF + 1) Tol. Depth...

    Tissue Compartment N2 And Ndl Calculator

    TC_Calculator This is revision 19.0 of a spreadsheet to calculate N2 tissue compartment loadings and NDL's. In this version I added a new sheet called RB (rock bottom). Previous versions were added to the Advanced forum but I put this version here because it can be used as a learning tool for...

    Need buddy for North Florida springs

    I'll be in north Florida from 2/15 through 2/28. I'm looking for a buddy that I can dive with in any of the springs/caverns. I'm cavern certified but don't have any experience beyond training dives. If you want to dive with me PM me and we can talk about specifics. Thanks.

    Advanced Technology

    I think smart sensors are the way to go. There would have to be a sensor in representative (compartment) tissue areas to get at least the functionality predicted by the algorithms. All those sensors can relay the data to a DC mounted on your wrist. The power for the sensors can come from the...

    When do you put the weight belt on?

    I dive wet using a jacket-style BC with integrated weight pockets. I was at the quarry recently and was observing a class of teenagers. As they were gearing up the instructor reminded them that weight belts go on first (i.e. before the BCD's). This seems backwards to me. Back in '74 when I first...

    Use a Computer or BT?

    I'm confused about the use of a computer for tech diving. I've read that computers are too conservative and possibly not safe and therefore one should develop deco on the computer and use a BT and calculations. There was one post in the DIR section where it was mentioned that a computer...
