Mares M1 RGBM..algorithm behaviour

[will_tekkie]

Friends...

I´m curious about the behaviour of the new mares M1 RGBM computer.. i´m wondering about its features...deco stop times..conservatism...is it a rec rgbm implementation? (folded over a dissolved model like suunto´s) of the model includes deep stops and othes things that are supposed to do a "real" rgbm computer such as the explorer...

It appears that the Mares M1 RGBM is a 2nd generation rec RGBM model. Like the Suunto computers, it tracks dissolved gas like a Haldane model, but modifies the M-values to emulate rgbm. The 2nd generation rec RGBM adds some additional fudge factors that ocassionally introduce deep stops.

Bruce Wienke's post, #34 in the above thread discusses the types of models and what computers are in development.

In posts #37, Leadweight quotes the M1 RGBM manual: "10 tissue compartments ..... Reduction of permissible gradient (M factors) in case of repetitive dives, deeper-than-previous-dives or multi-day diving." ----- this confirms that Mare-RGBM is similar to Suunto-RGBM.

And from the horse's mouth, the M1 will give you somewhat more bottom time than a Suunto, but it does not like short surface intervals.
