Hi @KenGordon...If you want to be a nerd look at page 5. If you want to be a diver who’s not thinking “hmm, is the deep and long enough for 50/80 or will 50/85 be ok?” see page 8...
Are your page numbers referencing the PDF link discussing Fused RGBM?
I've always kind of liked this document because, on page 8, it shows the potential penalty for violating certain RGBM principles. I've always wondered how multiple violations work, are they additive in the M-value reduction or what? Most discussions of RGBM do not discuss these specific reductions at all.
So, what is the M-value decrease after a 60 min SI for a repetitive dive, following a reverse profile, on day 5 of a 7-day liveaboard trip? What if you also had a somewhat faster than normal ascent? If additive, it looks like the penalty might be >37%. I've always wondered. I wrote Suunto a number of times but did not get a reply.
