RE>DCI rate with Deco-tables 2/15/95
A good reference for relative DCI risk would be:
Weathersby, P.K., Survanshi, S.S., Hays, J.R., AND MacCallum, M.E.
STATISTICALLY BASED DECOMPRESSION TABLES III. COMPARATIVE RISK USING U.S.
NAVY, BRITISH, AND CANADIAN STANDARD AIR SCHEDULES. Naval Medical Research
Institute Technical Report No. 86-50. Bethesda, MA, 1986.
--------------------------------------
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?
