hi all,

quite a while ago, someone posted a curve comparing the no decompression
limits of the new Navy tables (I can't tell which year) and PADI tables.
The Navy tables were supposed to yield 1 and 5 % DCI incidence respectively.

I compared the data of this graph with some other tables which are:
- the old Buehlmann-Hahn used in Germany
- the new Hahn tables of the year 92 used nowadays in Germany
- the BSAC tables (the newrer ones)
- the Comex Pro tables used by french commercial divers introduced in 1992

I haven't included the Marine Nationale 90 used by french divers, nor
the canadian table (I forgot the name). I also haven't done a comparison of
any repetitive dive nor of any decompression dive.

Well, when I see the graph I conclude that the NAVY 1% DCI tables offer the 
shortest no decompression limits.

Should one conclude that the other tables (so all tables I listed above)
yield a higher DCI rate than 1 %? So do you have to accept to get bend on
1 % of the dives?

Any thoughts?
