Divers use tables with decompression modes when conducting diving descents. Currently, tables are being replaced by underwater computers, into which modern mathematical models of decompression algorithms are programmed. None of the existing models takes into account the individual characteristics of the organism, the processes occurring in the body under conditions of high pressure of the gas and water environment, and does not describe the real processes well enough. Modern diving computers are able to supply a diver with a large amount of information. Based on data on depth, time, number of dives and time of surface intervals, they help to plan dives, inform when it is necessary to make an ascent, assign, if necessary, safety stops and calculate the time before the flight by plane. Currently, it is safe to say that a computer is simply necessary for a diver. His health, and sometimes his life, depends on it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
