I think that the bubble grading is completely subjective. It would not be very easy to do. It would be like designing a computer to read student's essays and decide what letter grade to assign or to taste a compound and say whether it is extremely delicious, delicious, very good or good. Also, bubbles != DCI symptoms && DCI symptoms != bubbles. When I volunteer in the hyperbaric chambers, people often bubble a little and receive no treatment as no symptoms develop.
