Articles/Books/Reading on different decompression models?

[azstinger11]

Hi All,

I'm going to be writing a short(ish) academic paper on the different decompression models being employed in the dive industry.

So far I am using Deep Into Deco and Deco For Divers as my first couple of texts as primers on decompression theory and some of the algorithms. But was looking for any scholarly or at least citable works on the subject.

Thanks in advance!

who's the paper's audience?

Erik Baker's papers are published and citable.
Not sure I would bother with Winke's work as its not legible

Recreational dive instructors are the target audience.

I'm assuming by Baker you are referring to articles similar to this?

This is one of the most discussed papers in regard to deep stop decompression from the NEDU. I would also say the recent series InDepth from GUE has good concise presentation of current thought. https://gue.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/NEDU_TR_2011-06.pdf

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Here is a link to the 1st part of a 4 part series that InDepth has recently done on current decompression thought. Decompression, Deep Stops and the Pursuit of Precision in a Complex World

There is a big collection of stuff here.

You will need to read wider because many diving related papers turn out not to be so good, with small numbers of subjects etc. The aviation and people people manage to do good work too as the issues are related but they have budgets.

You might find something on my blog (e.g. about VPM-B): https://thetheoreticaldiver.org

Have you tried pubmed/medline? Hard to find a paper not on there or a least an abstract with links.

decompression procedures - Search Results - PubMed

Along with those books, I would also recommend TDI manual for Decompression Procedures and PSAI's Advanced Nitrox manual or SSI Technical diving manual. They all say the same thing but the language of one may be better "click" to you than the other.
