I used the Comex tables in France at 60 m in 1992-94. In 1994 new Comex tables came into being. The divers who worked on the CSS Alabama used the Comex tables to do their dives and neither I nor them ever had problems. They have used them since 1988 for the Alabama work. The tables notwithstanding Comex has put a few of their divers in rubber bags for reasons presumably unrelated to their tables. Commercial diving is a tough business.
