Decompression Computers and Software

  • In terms of algorithms, what do you need to ensure when selecting decompression software and dive computers?
  • What is it that decompression software can and cannot do?

Key Points to Remember

  • You need to ensure that your computers and software can utilize a common algorithm; otherwise, they may come up with radically different solutions to the same set of variables.
  • Decompression software can not only generate tables covering a variety of situations, it can help you answer all-important what if? questions. What it often can’t do is project how much bottom mix and deco gas you will need for various schedules.
