New US Navy Decompression Table Compared to Old
Does anyone know the reasoning behind the HUGE increase in conservatism in the new US Navy Decompression tables?
The old one was used for decades. I believe it had < 3% incidents of DCI. Is the new conservatism because it's no longer acceptable to have . . .
EDIT!!! TYPO ALERT - NOT 3% . . . 1.3%
Political correctness?

3% could really impact a units ability to accomplish a mission. More conservatism keeps you folks healthy and mission ready at a relatively low cost.
Not sure what "political correctness" has to do with it...
Modern navy is going soft.
I blame decades more advanced scientific and physiological understanding based on empirical study.
Oh Jax...
I'm taking my TDI Trimix class. The book "problem dives" to work (air) were made under the old tables.Originally Posted by LiteHedded
The new Tables have so much additional deco, the second dive is ill-advised.
Yeah, yeah, I have dive software, but we have to do it with the tables. . . . . .

3% is pretty high. That's one case of DCI every 33 dives, do you realize that? How many times have gotten bent on your last 100 deco dives?Is the new conservatism because it's no longer acceptable to have 3%?

It sounds like you don't know what 'political correntness' means.
Thats so lame....pick the obvious most common sense answer.
I'd say its somehow related to area 51

Well.... maybe a 2nd dive IS ill advised afterall.
Don't be so damn PC!
Everyone knows you can do three trimix dives in a day.
Why?
