surface interval increases, so does the available dive time for the next dive.

To perform these calculations, the SOLUTION

continuously models the

absorption and release of excess nitrogen from theoretical compartments. Each

compartment absorbs and releases nitrogen at a different rate. The compartments

that absorb and release nitrogen rapidly are believed to have a high tolerance for

excess nitrogen, whereas compartments that absorb and release nitrogen more

slowly are believed to be more sensitive.

The no-decompression limits in the U.S. Navy tables are based upon six theoretical

compartments for single dives, and one compartment for surface intervals and

repetitive dives. If you are familiar with table theory, you may know that they are

characterized by half times (i.e. the time required for 50 % equilibration to a

pressure change) ranging from 5 minutes to 120 minutes.

The SOLUTION

includes the same six compartments, and three additional

compartments for an increased range of the mathematical model. The calculations

are based on all nine compartments for all phases of diving, including surface

intervals and repetitive dives. The SOLUTION

's half times range from 2.5 to 480

minutes.

Altitude Diving

The atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes than at sea level. After traveling

to a higher altitude, the diver will have additional nitrogen in his body, compared to

the equilibrium situation at the original altitude. This "additional" nitrogen is released

gradually in time and equilibrium is reached within a couple of days.

Before high altitude diving the SOLUTION

must be set to high altitude diving

mode to take this into account. The maximum partial pressures of nitrogen allowed

by the mathematical model of the SOLUTION

are reduced according to the lower

ambient pressure.

As a result the allowed no-decompression limits are considerably reduced.

Surface Intervals

The SOLUTION

requires a minimum surface interval of 10 minutes between

dives. If a surface interval is shorter than 10 minutes, the SOLUTION

dive

counter and dive timer treat the next dive as a continuation of the previous dive. It

adds the dive times, and calculates no-decompression limits or decompression

stops based on excess nitrogen absorbed on both dives. In this regard, it is similar

to the U.S. Navy tables.
