The presentation is open to the first 25 people who respond and will cost $17.00 per guest to cover Bruce's airfare. Your "reservation" will be confirmed once we receive $17.00. Send me an email to verify that spots are available prior to sending any money. Dr. Bruce Weinke is the developer of the dive algorithm known as Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM), which is based on the physics of bubble formation. Wienke's research is in collaboration with the University of Rochester, the University of Trondheim, Norway, the University of Wisconsin, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the University of Hawaii. The benefits of the RGBM are that divers can go deeper, stay longer and spend less time decompressing than with the Haldane Table. Keeping nitrogen and helium bubbles from forming in the body is the goal of both the Haldane Table and RGBM. Though, the advantages of RGBM stem from its use of mixed gases, the most common trimix, heliox, and nitrox, and a different approach to determining the depth and timing of decompression stops upon ascent based on the properties of these gases and their biophysical response to various levels of pressure. A big part of the reason for RGBM's acceptance is Wienke's diving experience. Wienke has logged more than 3,000 hours underwater as deep as 400 feet and in locations all over the world, from under the ice of the arctic to the tropic waters of the South Pacific. Author of five technical diving books, including "Basic Decompression Theory and Application," and "Basic Diving Physics and Application," Wienke credits RGBM's success to a common diving language.
