Decompression Profiles

The following profiles are derived from George Irvine's discussion of decompression on the Techdiver and Quest Lists. I made these graphs for myself so that I could see the shape of GI's recommended decompression and see how they are similar or different to/from one another and to better understand decompression in of itself. I thought I would share them. I also put the Max Deco Example Run Time on theit's basic shape looks just like the 240FT, ~170, and ~130FT basic shapes.

The graphs are based on the following emails from Techdiver:

GI's 240 Foot Recommendation	GI's ~170 Foot Recommendation	GI's ~130 Foot Recommendation	GI's 300 Foot Recommendation	Max Deco Example
Other Info:	-	-		-
Decompression 1	DECO	"Minimum Decompression"

(Before taking a look at the graphs (links below) keep in mind that the graphs do not show actual deco stops (with the exception of the O2 stop) but rather a trend of the diver's profile over time.)
