DAN Europe’s latest dataset adds to the ongoing discussion around decompression sickness, suggesting that real-world risk may involve more than the dive profile alone.
The use of trimix—a breathing mix of oxygen, helium and nitrogen—has become the standard for dives beyond 30-50 m/100-165 ft, depending on whom you dive with....
Dr. Alessandro Marroni and his team are preparing to test their real-time diver monitoring system that has been more than 50 years in the making. Called...
by Yvonne Press Algorithms, gradient factors, bottom times, hydration, sleep, gas choice—they all factor into decompression dive planning. Every time we teach budding tech divers how...

In-water recompression (IWR) is recognized as a legitimate emergency treatment protocol for remote locations, provided that the team is trained, equipped, and prepared. But as tech...
Respiratory problems resulting from COVID-19 provided the impetus and motivation for subsea engineer Mike Lombardi to develop—with the help of Subsalve USA—a new, effective helmet-based ventilation...
Has the time come for portable chamber technology? I thought it had in JAN 1993 when we made the SOS Hyperlite chamber the cover story of...
As some tech divers have painfully discovered, there’s an escalating risk of decompression sickness (DCS) with Buhlmann algorithms as dives get progressively deeper and longer. The...
