Keep reading jbd :), and let me know if you DO figure out how Irvine does it, in a real practical sense, I'd love to know.

I second that!

Fabulous website!

Good discussion of bubble based theory. I hadn't even found that one yet :) Thanks for pointing it out jbd.

I'm positive Irvine has a handle on this, but I don't think he's running equations before he gets in the water, (besides it would seem that that's what he uses JJ's team of "deco geeks", as he called them, for.

In any of this you probably want to start with a known model with allowable M-values based on real data taken from real test dives, then add deep stops and change the shape of the deco until you get the best results for you. This would take many *many* dives. I choose to get an estimate of a deep stop profile. I choose to start with a Buehlman ZHL-16B profile molested by GAP. I choose to shave NO time off the shallow stops, I'm not there yet. You could code and run your own profiles, but remember, the test series, actually testing real divers, is where you find out where your model meets reality.

Anyway, good website, thanks for reposting it here.

Good diving,
Jeff
 
the bubble theory section yet. I'm still on the historical and M-value stuff.

I think you're assessment of GI is probably accurate.
