The International Association of Nitrox Divers (IAND) was formed in 1985 in response to the needs of the diving public. In 1985, Dick Ruthkowski, retired as the dive supervisor for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA). In 1991, under the leadership of Tom Mount, the organization grew into the leading technical training organization in the world, becoming: International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers (IANTD).

This publication is not intended to be used as a substitute for appropriate dive training. Diving is a dangerous sport and proper training should only be conducted under the safe supervision of an appropriate, active, diving instructor until you are fully qualified, and then, only in conditions and circumstances which are as good or better than the conditions in which you were trained. Technical scuba diving should be taught by a specialized instructor with training credentials and experience at that level of diving. Careful risk assessment, continuing education and skill practice may reduce your likelihood of an accident, but are in no means a guarantee of complete safety. This publication assumes a basic understanding of diving skills and knowledge. It should be used to complement the undertaking of prerequisite training on the route to enrolling upon technical diving training. 2 | P a g e ©Andy Davis 2015 www.scubatechphilippines.com This primer on decompression theory is designed as a supplement to your technical diving training. Becoming familiar with the concepts and terms outlined in this document will enable you to get the most out of your theory training with me; and subsequently enjoy safer, more refined dive planning and management in your technical diving activities.

  • Dive Computer Use in Recreational Diving: Insights from the DAN-DSL Database
    http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org Dive Computer Use in Recreational Diving: Insights from the DAN-DSL Database Costantino Balestra Haute Ecole Paul Henri Spaak Environmental and Occupational Physiology Laboratory 91 Avenue C. Schaller 1160 Auderghem, BELGIUM Data from the DAN Europe Diving Safety Laboratory (DSL) suggest that approximately 95% of recreational diving is carried out today using a dive computer. The most widely dived computers/algorithms, irrespective of brand, use the Bühlmann ZHL-16 or the Wienke RGBM algorithm, with roughly a 50/50 distribution across the DSL population. The vast majority of the 167 recorded decompression sickness (DCS) cases occurred without any significant violation of the respective algorithm’s limits, i.e., most occurred while using gradient factors that were well below the maximum allowed by the algorithm. The DSL database and field research also show that many other physiological variables may be involved in the pathogenesis of DCS, even within computed “safe” limits, causing a variable individual response despite similar inert gas supersaturation levels. We conclude that the current computer validation modalities, although important and useful as a basic benchmark, still allow a probability of DCS beyond ideal levels in a recreational setting. In order to limit unexpected DCS a more aggressive “biological” approach is recommended that is able to identify and then control the most significant physiological variables involved in the pathogenesis of DCS, in addition to the inert gas supersaturation levels. INTRODUCTION Recreational diving is mostly done with the use of dive computers (DCs) that divers tend to trust with absolute “faith.” Not many individuals realize that the validation protocols underlying the marketing of such computers and the algorithms that they use are far from perfect.

  • IQ-1301 TC1 Dive Computer
    TUSA TC1 ( IQ1301 ) DIVE COMPUTER USER GUIDE【1st/en】 The CE mark is used to mark conformity with the European Union EMC directive 2014/30/EU. IN-TC1-EN-1ST Page 1 ■■■■■■■■■ USER GUIDE【1st.】 Thank you for choosing the TUSA TC1(IQ1301) Dive Computer. ◆This dive computer does not conform to Dive watches (100m) stated in the ISO6425 and JISB7023. Applications This is a dive computer to support no decompression diving safely. The TUSA TC1(IQ1301) functions as a watch, alarm, timer, stopwatch. In Dive Mode, information of water depth, water temperature, dive time, ascent rate and decompression are provided. When divers exceed no decompression limits, the dive computer will show audible and visual alarms. Comprehensive accelerated decompression is possible because each fraction of oxygen (O2) % can be set from 21% to 56% in 1% increments. The calculation model used for decompression is based on the decompression theory of Dr. A. Buhlmann (ZHL-16C). Before use, you need understand all warnings and cautions of the dive computer written in this Instruction Manual. To avoid any serious accidents, please make sure to read and fully understand the dive computer and its functions. Understanding and using the functions of the dive computer ensures your safe diving. Page 2 Safety Precautions Please read the following before use. TUSA shall assume no responsibility on damage, lost profit and/or any claims caused in use or by malfunctions of this dive computer from customers and any third parties. Danger • Make sure you understand how to use the warnings, and cautions of this dive computer within this Instruction Manual before use.
