Decompression tables
Decompression tables, also known to divers as dive tables, are tabulated data, often in the form of printed cards or booklets, that allow people to determine a decompression schedule that is acceptably safe for a given dive or other hyperbaric exposure profile and breathing gas. Decompression tables represent procedures recommended for decompression from hyperbaric exposures in a continuum of possibilities by schedules tabulated for discrete cases of such exposures chosen for practicality and convenience of the user.
