In another forum a member made this statement, "according to Deco for Divers, a flaw in the VPM-B algorithm is that it tends to be overly conservative for NDL dives like this". I responded thus, "I think you're talking about the 1st version of VPM. The flaw, pressure gradient allowed, was fixed in the VPM-B revision, by taking Boyles Law into account." If Deco for Divers suggests that VPM-B doesn't scale well from NDL through to hypoxic decompression dives, I think the author got it wrong."
Unfortunately, I'm operating from old memories of papers I'v read, & my experience using the algorithm from 2mt to 90mt, n = 1, & the member no longer has access to Deco for Divers.
I'm hoping someone who has access to Deco for Divers, might confirm what it actually says on the subject.
