Bookspan {scuba} | R Documentation |
Data for several decompression models of Haldane type, giving the tissue halftimes for Nitrogen and the M-values (maximum tolerated partial pressure of Nitrogen for surfacing).
The dataset Bookspan
is a list with the following entries:
Haldane | halftimes for Haldane's original model |
USN | halftimes for US Navy original model |
DSAT | halftimes for DSAT model |
OrcaEdge | halftimes for OrcaEdge computer |
MicroBrain | halftimes for MicroBrain computer |
ZHL12 | halftimes for ZH-L12 model |
Haldane | M-values for Haldane's original model |
USN | M-values for US Navy original model |
DSAT | M-values for DSAT model |

Bookspan (1995) tabulates the parameters of several different decompression models of the classical Haldane type. The basic parameters for such a model are
The data tabulated in Bookspan (1995, page 16) purportedly give the halftimes for Haldane's original model, the original US Navy model, the DSAT model (basis of PADI repetitive dive planner), the OrcaEdge, MicroBrain and Aladin dive computers, and the Buehlmann ZH-L12 model.
The data tabulated in Bookspan (1995, page 23) give the corresponding M-values (in fsw) for the US Navy and DSAT models only.
These parameters are all contained in the dataset Bookspan
.
