This brief provides a complete yet concise description of modern
dive computers and their operations to date in one source with
coupled applications for added understanding. Basic diving
principles are detailed with practical computer implementations.
Interrelated topics to diving protocols and operational procedures
are included. Tests, statistics and correlations of computer models
with data are underscored. The exposition also links phase
mechanics to dissolved gases in modern decompression theory with
mathematical relationships and equations used in dive computer
synthesis. Applications focus upon and mimic dive computer
operations within model implementations for added understanding.
This comprehensive resource includes a complete list of dive
computers that are marketed and their staging models, as well as a
complete list of diveware marketed and their staging algorithms,
linkage of pertinent wet and dry tests to modern computer
algorithms, a description of two basic computer models with all
constants and parameters, mathematical ansatz of on-the-fly risk
for surfacing at any dive depth, detailing of statistical
techniques used to validate dive computers from data, and a
description of profile Data Banks for computer dive model
correlations. The book will find an audience amongst computer
scientists, doctors, underwater researchers, engineers, physical
and biosciences diving professionals, explorers, chamber
technicians, physiologists and technical and recreational divers.
There are spaces for the essentials: depth, time, gas, buddy, dive
site and other details, a brief description or sketch plus a dive
centre stamp. The covers feature original artwork of whales,
sharks, jellyfish and starfish by Bristol-based designer Bethan
Buss.
