Thanks for details @inquis & @steinbil ![Thumbs up: medium-light skin tone :thumbsup_tone2: 👍🏼](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d-1f3fc.png)
Subsurface is wonderful, agreed.
So my quick ambient pressure ratio approximation (more Haldanean w.r.t. 100% oversaturation) is actually approximately close--not surprisingly--and probably sufficient for this matter about DCS/DCI from air saturation shallower than 10 metres.
For precise M values and GFs, there is newer math...
This .pdf pretty nice and succinct
Since the Bülhmann Surfacing M0 is given as "12.7 metres" for the slowest compartment ("#16"), for [pure?] nitrogen saturation, how are we seeing a surface GF as high as 83% (@inquis was this a typo?) at only 6 metres on 79% N2? That seems surprising. But maybe it's still the math.
EDIT:
Ok I did open up Subsurface and "plan dive" on air to 6 metres for 1000 minutes... the surface GF is given as 53%.
So my 60% Haldanean-style approximation was SUPER WRONG, was it?![Grinning squinting face :laughing: 😆](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f606.png)

Robert Workman introduced the term "M-value" to describe how much overpressurization each tissue compartment can tolerate at any depth. He revised Haldane's model to account for the fact that different tissue compartments can tolerate different levels of overpressurization, and that this level changes with depth.
