Decompression basics
This chapter covers the fundamentals of decompression:
tissue on-gassing and off-gassing, half-times, model tissues,
M-values and gradient factors.
Here you’ll get the theoretical foundation for everything that later
relates to no-decompression limits, dive profiles, and decompression strategies.
Clearly explained, without an unnecessary barrage of formulas.
- How inert gases enter the body and leave it again
- Why different tissues saturate at different rates
- What M-values and gradient factors mean in practice
