At the risk of annoying those who do have a preference for a specific, the simple answer for most divers is NO the algorithm is not critical. There is no expert consensus that any one of the current crop of decompression algorithms is better than another. All of these algorithms used in dive computers and desktop table generation software, when set to their default conservancy values, will get you out of the water with an acceptable margin of safety. Among technical divers, the trend has been toward significantly deeper initial stops, based mostly on anecdotal reports within the community that some divers 'feel better' after such dives. Yet some experts feel deep stops may be counter productive, an example of the lack of consensus. Numerous variants of ZHL-16C are very widely implemented in both sport and technical dive computers. For technical diving, versions of ZHL-16C that include user configurable Gradient Factor modifications are very popular because the GF values can be used to generate deeper initial stops.
VPM-B dive profiles typically also have deeper initial stops, along with reduced time at shallow depths resulting in a 'smoother' profile. Some divers believe the reduced shallow depth stop times may be too short for lengthy VPM-B profiles; the VPM-B/E and VPM-B/GFS variations exist to address this concern. DCAP was developed for use by early extended range divers (today we call them 'technical divers'.) VVAL-18M is the basis for the modern US Navy Tables. DCIEM has been extensively tested by the Canadian military to ensure its safety for cold water working divers. RGBM (basis for NAUI tables with its roots in VPM) and DSAT (basis for PADI tables) are most often seen in no stop required sport diving applications.
The are not exact, in many ways as much about skill as science. Much of what we do in decompression diving is based on empirical observation and experience, rather than having a basis in theoretical science., the late co-developer of DCAP and whose research in decompression is widely acknowledged as having a key role in opening up recreational extreme exposure diving in the early 90's, was fond of the saying 'what works, works.' The most important safety factor is not the decompression algorithm you select, rather your skill as a diver and that you closely follow the recommendations of that algorithm and safe diving practices in general. The Shearwater Research Perdix dive computer model with the AI designation has a radio frequency receiver built-in to the electronics but the two models are otherwise identical.
The built-in RF receiver allows the AI version to support optional RF transmitters to display the cylinder gas pressure without the use of hoses. The Perdix model without the AI designation cannot be later upgraded to support tank pressure transmitters. The difference in price of the Perdix and Perdix AI is because the AI model includes a receiver, not because the base package includes a transmitter. When purchasing the Perdix AI from Dive Gear Express you have the option to purchase one or two transmitters at a package price that represents a significant discount over purchasing the transmitters separately or at a later time. The DG03 is an excellent entry level dive computer and bottom timer that represents a terrific value and we sold it for many years. But time and technology marches on, so when our DG03 inventory was exhausted in early August 2017, we decided not to reorder and the DG03 is no longer available.
Our recommended entry level dive computer is now the, offering a wrist watch form factor with a generously sized color screen that is very easy to read. Offering multiple modes (Watch, Scuba, Bottom Timer/Gauge, Freedive) the COSMIQ also communicates with your smart phone and the Deepblu dive log application. If you already own a DG03, don't worry, you aren't an orphan because continue to be available and will be for the foreseeable future. If you need a tank pressure transmitter, its the widely used model offered with several other dive computers. If you want the bungee mount, it's the mount. Shearwater Research tells us that as long as the transmitter is marked with 'FCC ID MH8A' on the body then the transmitter, regardless of the brand, will also work with their Perdix AI and NERD 2 model air integrated dive computers. However, no other Shearwater dive computer models, including the Perdix model without the 'AI' designation and the original NERD, supports integration with a pressure transmitter.

Pelagic has been supplying those same OEM transmitters to various dive computer manufacturers such as Aeris, Aqualung, Hollis, and Oceanic for many years.
Kindwall MD For many people, Dr. Kindwall’s name is synonymous with hyperbaric medicine in the United States. He served as a medical officer in the US Navy’s Submarine Services during the Vietnam War. After he left the military, Dr. Kindwall realized that standards for civilian hyperbaric oxygen treatments had to be established. He became the founding Chairman of the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society’s (UHMS) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee. Later, he became President of the UHMS, as well as the Executive Director of the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine.
He knew that education of medical personnel was critical if hyperbaric medicine was to take root and be accepted by the medical community in the United States, especially since this treatment modality was not being taught in US medical schools. To overcome this lack of knowledge, Dr. Kindwall established the first hyperbaric medicine course for physicians and nurses. To catalog the standards and practices in the field, Dr. Kindwall authored two seminal works: Hyperbaric Medicine Practice (), co-authored with Harry T. Whelan, MD which is the first textbook on hyperbaric medicine; and Hyperbaric Medicine Procedures (), co-authored with Jeffrey A. Niezgoda, MD.
Jorge Beale MD In 1988, Dr. Beale was selected by Mount Vernon Hospital to develop and launch a state of the art Chronic Wound Treatment ad Hyperbaric Center. He did so with his unique approach to wound healing and dedication to his patients, and served as founder and director of the center until his untimely passing in 2008. Beale was an alum of Louisiana State University and attended medical school at Universidad Central del Caribe in Puerto Rico. He completed two residencies: one residency for surgery at Cabrini Medical Center in New York City, and a second residency for internal medicine at Mount Vernon Hospital in New York. He went on to become board certified in internal medicine, wound care, as well as hyperbaric medicine.
Beale quickly established himself as a highly respected expert and innovator in the field of wound care treatments and hyperbaric medicine. His clinical team of physicians, nurses and technicians were continuously trained, certified, and held to the highest standards. In order to provide comprehensive care for his patients, Dr.
Beale built and coordinated a solid network of podiatrists, vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, infectious disease specialists, endocrinologists, dieticians, pain management physicians, physical therapists, and hyperbaric technicians. He would also travel to local nursing homes and extended care facilities to provide a much needed extended care to resident wound patients.
Despite his already hectic schedule and patient load, Dr. Beale generously provided medical services to the impoverished and disadvantaged population of the community. He could often be seen working late hours to accommodate their needs, and he participated in several clinics.
Beale treated each and every one of his patients with dignity, compassion and respect, regardless of their financial means. Beale was passionate about the advancement of medical education.
During his tenure, he mentored countless medical professionals and students. He provided invaluable time and materials for the Introduction to Hyperbaric Medicine course developed by the late Eric P. Kindwall, MD. We are proud to honor Dr. Bbc World Service Lilliburlero Bagpipe.
Beale’s achievements by offering a wound care and hyperbaric medicine scholarship in his name. R.W.”Bill” Hamilton Ph.D. Hamilton was a fighter pilot, astronaut candidate and physiologist who specialized in hypo- and hyperbaric exposures, making himself indispensable in both the aerospace and deep diving communities. His studies of the effects of oxygen on human physiology led him to devise the concept of Oxygen Toxicity Unit (OTU) and calculate maximum oxygen exposure time limits to prevent central nervous system oxygen toxicity seizures. His OTU charts were widely published by numerous organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and dive training agencies. Hamilton’s OTU concepts and algorithms were incorporated into many decompression computers carried by divers. His proprietary DCAP decompression program was used by military, commercial and technical divers in an age before multi-gas enabled dive computers and decompression software became the norm.
The fledgling technical sport diving community dubbed him “The Prince of Gases”, while others who knew Dr. Hamilton more intimately referred to him endearingly as “Billy Bob”.
Regardless of title, nickname or endearment to hail him, Dr. Hamilton answered the call to spread the word about safely working in, or exploring, alternobaric environments.
He spoke at conferences the world over and his publications were numerous, as were the awards bestowed upon him. Daniel M.Goldman MD Dr. Goldman pursued his love of music prior to entering the medical profession: he studied at the Manhattan School of Music and played jazz piano professionally for ten years.
When he was in his 30s, he decided to become a physician and went to the University of Miami School of Medicine. Goldman was board certified in general surgery and became Chief of Surgery at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
He also became board certified in hyperbaric medicine and dedicated the last 15 years of his life to furthering the hyperbaric field. He served as the director of the Vassar Brothers Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center until he passed away in 2013. Gerry Koinig Information Technology Specialist Gerry worked at Lockheed Martin IMS for 17 years, and he was the lead software designer and developer of large scale software applications for government municipalities across the US. Prior to joining Life Support Technologies group in 2002, Gerry worked as a freelance web developer and graphic artist. Gerry’s responsibilities at LST included website graphic design, development and maintenance, desktop publishing for marketing and corporate media, as well as software related technical support for senior management and staff, until his passing in 2014.
