There are few tables which are not more conservative than USN.

What are these SUSL 92 tables?

I know two people who have been bent using relatively conservative
Aladin (Beuchat) computers, both on repetitive dive profiles. One
was after several days of intensive diving teaching cave courses.
The other was on a short but deep dive following a long deep
decompression dive. He had failed to make a deep traverse and, after
having to retreat and decompress on air at the starting point, dove
the intended exit side to recover gear which had been placed there
for use at the end of the traverse.

I basically don't believe Haldane theory about off gassing and
consider repetitive dives the most dangerous.
