Decompression model comparison finds 15 to 102 minutes "time to surface"

[Lutz Vieweg]

Hi,

just for the fun of it: The official periodical of the German society for diving and hyperbaric
medicine (GTÜM) recently published an article comparing the decompression stop recommendations
of no less than 46 different dive computers, decompression tables and dive planning software,
all for the very same simple dive (just air, bottom time 25 minutes at -42m).

They found astonishingly different decompression recommendations, ranging from
15 minutes to 102 minutes "time to surface".

Find the whole article in
  http://gtuem.praesentiert-ihnen.de/caisson1-2015.pdf
the text is in German, but the result tables on pages 18 and 19 are
trivial to understand also to non-german speakers.

The next issue of this periodical was announced to contain a second part of this
comparison, then with Heliox 80/20 for breathing instead of air.


I wonder whether I should ask them to include Subsurface into their next round of testing ;-)

Regards,
