Suunto RGMB Models

[iflyprops]

First off, I have searched the board and I cant really find anything to answer my question. First question, what is the difference between the RGMB and say the Bauhman allogarithm? And what is the difference between RGMB and Suunto's RGMB model? I have a cobra that I haven't dove yet and I'm a little curious.

Thanks!

I did a forum search on "Weinke" and got 4 pages of threads. You might want to read those over.

Not necessary. Dr. Weinke is the author of RGBM and posts here from time to time. He had one post not long ago that would address your question quite well.

is not REAL.

The "folded" implementations are not true RGBM as it applies to decompression diving. If you run a few test profiles on the Suuntos, you will find this to be the case immediately.

Unfortunately there is a LOT of hype and, to be polite, marketing-speak surrounding this stuff. Most unfortunate.

The Suuntos are nice computers, but don't buy them on the basis of them being "RGBM". Buy them because they're a good computer, you are comfortable with the feature set, they'll probably not bend you if you use them properly, and they're reasonably priced.

It's Wienke not "Weinke".
