Diving Decompression Chart FAQ

What is a decompression dive?

This dive is ended with stops in certain depths for a definitive time. Technically speaking: "Every Dive is a Decompression Dive!" Why? An ascent means just a reduction in the ambient pressure: this per-se, is: De-compression, and as such valid for all these dives.

How deep can you dive with no stop decompression?

The following depths and no stop decompression times are based on the first dive of the day. Which means it assumes you’ve not done any other dives beforehand. 9 metres (30 feet) dive depth: BSAC no decompression time limit of 243 minutes (PADI Tables 205 minutes).

Do dive tables reduce the risk of decompression sickness?

On the other hand, despite the various advancements, dive tables and modern dive computers cannot eliminate the risk of decompression sickness, though they can greatly minimize the risks. With guidance, you won’t mistakenly ascend too fast and will be able to give your body enough time to safely expel the absorbed nitrogen.

What happens if you decompress wrong when scuba diving?

If you get decompression wrong when you’re scuba diving, this can result in injury. That’s why its important to get it right between how deep you dive and how you decompress at the end of your dive. All dives are decompression dives no matter how deep you dive, so you must decompress on your ascent.
