Decompression

Time spent at a decompression stop or range

 

before surfacing, to allow absorbed nitrogen

 

to escape naturally from tissues.

Decompression range

On a decompression stop dive the depth

 

range, between the floor and ceiling, within

 

which a diver must stop for some time during

 

ascent.

Decompression illness

Any of a variety of maladies resulting either

 

directly or indirectly from the formation of

 

nitrogen bubbles in tissues or body fluids, as

 

a result of inadequately controlled decom-

 

pression. Commonly called “bends” or “DCI”.

Dive series

A group of repetitive dives between which

 

the dive computer indicates some nitrogen

 

loading is present. When nitrogen loading

 

reaches zero the dive computer deactivates.

Dive time

Elapsed time between leaving the surface to

 

descend, and returning to the surface at the

 

end of a dive.

DP

Delta P, describing the Cylinder Pressure

 

drop during the dive; difference in cylinder

 

pressure between beginning and end of dive.

EAD

Abbreviation for equivalent air depth.

EAN

Abbreviation for enriched air nitrox.

Enriched Air Nitrox

Also called Nitrox or Enriched Air = EANx.

 

Air that has some oxygen added. Standard

 

mixes are EAN32 (NOAA Nitrox I = NN I)

 

and EAN36 (NOAA Nitrox II = NN II).

Equivalent Air Depth

Nitrogen partial pressure equivalent table.

Floor

The deepest depth during a decompression

 

stop dive at which decompression takes

 

place.
