NOAA has tables for nitrox - both EAN 32 and EAN 36. For air, they use the US Navy dive tables.

NOAA are the folks that developed the Altitude Tables, later adopted by the Navy.

Great tables for those trying to get bent. Remember, the NOAA divers have a chamber handy. Sometimes they finish out their deco in the chamber. So
. Pad the numbers with some conservatism.
For NDL diving, the NOAA publishes the NAUI tables.
I put the NDL numbers into a few deco packages, and they *REQUIRED* a deco stop. Gives a new meaning to Safety stop. DO NOT SKIP IT.

The NOAA manual is the most useful text I own...The 32/36 tables are not yet available in plastic (waterproof) form yet

Well the Reason that I was asking was that my Oceanic DataTrans works off of those tables. And I was wanting more info on them. I find it hard to see why a Diving Computer would use tables that get people easily bent. I am not trying to Cause conflict but I am simply trying to learn more.

Chambers are only required on dives in excess of 100' & any dives requiring planned decompression.
Other than that, I know a lot of divers with an excess of 10,000 hours that have never been bent, all required to use the USN tables.
Here is a little reading material: http://mindspring.com/~divegeek/fivepercent.htm
You can down load NOAA tables in pdf format at this sight:
