DECOMPRESSION MODEL
•
Decompression theory can be trusted only as far as it
has been demonstrated by actual test dive data. In
1987 Diving Science and Technology (DSAT)
conducted a unique series of experiments.
Commissioned by the Professional Association of
Diving Instructors (PADI), these Doppler ultrasound
monitored human experiments conducted by Dr.
Michael Powell produced the most comprehensive
data set that exists for recreational divers to this day.
These data were used to validate the PADI
Recreational Dive Planner and are the basis of the
algorithm used in all Oceanic Personal Dive
Computers (PDCs).
