  John, the answers are in your question. We use Hamilton Research combined
with 
 the bubble machanics work of the Maikens and the Weinkes, along with the fine 
tuning from what now amounts to thousands of man hours of these dives. We are 
doing the biggest deco and most extreme profiles in non-commercial diving, with 
perfect results. Yes, we have verified them with doppler, and yes , some of us 
have scans done over the last five years - no lesions, no necrosis.

  I do not know where this "pessimism" comes from regarding successful deco,
but 
it is misplaced. There are also some German studies, some Navy studies, a 
Chinese study , and several Japanses studies that support what we at WKPP have 
already been doing successfully for several years.

  The major problem is that there is too much interference from amatueur deco 
table makers, as well as weenery from the computer manufacuturers, and outright 
crap taught by the training agencies in this regard under the excuse of 
"liability". 
  
  As the pros - Bill Hamilton, Maiken, Weinke, etc. Two of those three are on 
here. - G
