Greetings divers,
Over the past half year or so, we have been conducting tests on dive computers using a miniature hyperbaric chamber. Some of the results we have found, regarding repetitive diving, we believe could be of concern. This was identified with our first test protocol, two square...
I want to make a diving decompression algorithm. I read a couples of papers but 'winke's yet. so I understand about what is m-value, how to apply gradient factor, how to calculate a tissue compression, what is NDL and how can calculate it, what is water vapor, and difference of compression about...
With Shearwater supporting DCIEM upgrades for commercial and military applications, I thought this might have been discussed here but haven't found much with searches.
I live and dive around Victoria BC, and have done some contract work on the boats that the Canadian Navy Fleet Dive Unit use...
Clearly as you go deeper, your gas consumption rate increases with gas pressure, which accelerates the accumulation of N2 in your body. I get that basic physics and physiology. Does anyone know if computer algorithms account for actual breathing rate? And true air consumption rate?
As an...
I have a Cressi Giotto. I also have a Sherwood Vision. I've read that the Giotto is more conservative than the Vision. I've also read that it's best to leave the dive computer's alone and not bother to try to "match" the algorithms, i.e. set them to have similar conservatism or liberalism. I...
Just wanted to share a couple of bullet points from this morning's DEMA session, as I am sure several folk will be very interested. In the near future:
Buhlmann 16 GF will be added to the Eon Steel as an option, in addition to the current algorithm, via usual update download process.
Fused RGBM...
From reading all of the threads here, I was still not able to determine exactly what the problem is with the Suunto algorithm. From everything I read, it seemed like the only complaint was that it may end up taking you out of the water a few minutes sooner than other computers would. To me, that...
Two weeks ago I dove both the mares puck pro and suunto zoop novo, at the same time on 17 dives.
I was on nitrox, from 28-32% O2.
That's what the boat provided.
The mares has three settings from more liberal to more conservative. I found that on all three, I had much less no decompression time...
I have been doing some research on the Eon Steel with an interest in potentially investing in what appears to be a well designed and thought out unit, I am also interested and quite confident in the advances made in the RGBM algorithm especially the fused RGBM as found on the Eon Steel. However...
