Decompression Model

[Erwin Kodiat]

Dear all,
Currently I'm working on pursuing my Divemaster certificate. Just read about Decompression model both on Divemaster course material and Recreational Diving Encyclopedia and found that decompression model drives to ask more question which are not addressed by those books.
I understood that all current decompression model are based on Haldane compartment tissue models. Then I already got about the halftimes.
My questions are:

1. What is M-value? How to determine it?
2. How to calculate the deco stop based on that model?
3. What is the effect of surface interval to that compartment model?
   [/list=1]
   Thanks in advance
   
   Regards

   Have a look at www.deepocean.net - that site may help you.

Erwin:

The Deep Ocean site has some valuable information.

In addition, there is Basic Diving Physics and Applications by B. R. Wienke. This can probably be purchased on the web (maybe Amazon books).

Try Technical Diving In Depth (Best Pubs)
pages 23 - 28 (or earlier pubs) to explain
Haldane deco, time to surface, time to stop, etc.
Dissolved gas equations are also listed for same.

Yes, that's quite a good book. I saw your name is similar to the author of that book? Are you the same person?
