Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / June 2004Deco theory info?
Can anyone recommend a good decompression theory book plese? Any good websites on the subject would help also. Getting an Inspiration shortly and would like a more in-depth view of deco theory.

Try Bruce Weinke's book for some proper bedtime reading. Best Pete S. > Can anyone recommend a good decompression theory book plese? Any good > websites on the subject would help also.

Wienke (published by Best Publishing, second edition 2003, ISBN 1-930536-14-3). Don't be fooled by the word "basic". I read through most of it now and I am having a hard time to understand about half. Being a lawyer and reading a book for doctors, physiologists, engineers etc might have something to do with it, though. Rgs, Niels Doorduijn "Niels asked .... > > Can anyone recommend a good decompression theory book plese? ..... Speaking as someone with a reasonable scientific background, albeit a relative novice diver, I found the Weinke book to be at a "difficult" level, but clear and precise if you make the effort and have enough maths (at least A level or equivalent) if that makes sense.. Another book which might catch your eye called "the decompression matrix" is much easier level - and just the level I wanted - but very muddled in its explanations and very hard to understand what the bloke is actually on about. . It's very nearly a good book but as it is it's hopeless and needs a re-write IMHO - which is a pity. Hywel > > Can anyone recommend a good decompression theory book plese?

I can find the old edition on Amazon, but nothing on any dive shop websites or anything... any ideas on where we can find it? David > Basic Decompression, Theory and Application by Bruce R.

Regards, Mark. http://www.tauch-reisewelt.com in Germany has it in stock. Niels > > Basic Decompression, Theory and Application by Bruce R.

You don't actually need to know much about decompression to dive an Inspriation - you can dive one with tables or just about any Nitrox computer without any problems. Eg. see http://lists.drogon.net/inspiration/aladdin.html for tables to let you use an aladin Nitrox or any other 1 (or even multi) mix Nitrox computer. Along with all the other referenced posted, you might want to look at Lipmans "Deeper into Diving" if it's still in print. This gives an overview of some of the "Neo-Haldane" models (and BSAC-88). Bear in-mind that just about every text on deco theory will be talking about fixed FN2 and FHe (ie. as in open circuit diving) and not fixed ppO2 which we do with closed circuit diving. Gordon Cheers, Gordon. One of the problems I have is I am bllind, so the nitrox computers are not much use. The only talking one that was on the market is no longer made. I will have to rely on tables and pc based deco planning programs. It is for this reason I would like to know a bit more about the figures I am plugging into the PC, so I can make a more educated assessment of what they are telling me. I am more after an introduction to the various terms and figures used than the whole line on how to program your own algorithm. I think the Weink book suggested might be a bit beyond my needs!

Erm... I'm probably being stoopid. but if you are blind how are you going to read the handsets on the inspiration?
