ABSTRACT
The systematics of gas exchange, nucleation, bubble growth and elimination, and decompression are so complicated that theories only reflect pieces of the puzzle. Computational algorithms, tables, and manned testing are requisite across a spectrum of activities. And the potential of electronic devices to process tables of information or detailed equations underwater is near maturity, with virtually any algorithm or model amenable to digital implementation. Pressures for even more sophisticated algorithms are expected to grow.
