Suunto VYTEC DS manual Ead, Ean

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.
