"Since the 1950s, the U.S. Navy Diving Manual has served as the
internationally recognized standard for allowable exposure while
breathing compressed air at varying depths. For many years, the
1956/1957 Diving Manual air tables also provided the prescribed
decompression schedules for dive profiles that exceeded allowable
exposure limits. Due to concern over unacceptable rates of
decompression sickness and key research on hyperbaric medicine that
has developed mathematical models for gas exchange in human
tissues, the U.S. Navy has now totally revised the Manual s air
tables to make use of this valuable new research. These changes,
together with those to the Manual s other sections, represent the
most comprehensive updating of Navy diving procedures since 1956.
Among the key sections affected by this thoroughgoing revision are:
Air decompression definitions; Emergency procedures; Repetitive
dives; Variations in rate of ascent; Surface-supplied mixed gas
diving procedures; Diagnosis and treatment of decompression
sickness and arterial gas embolism; Recompression chamber
operation. In addition to these key updates, the Manual provides
extensive information on medical treatment for dive injuries;
dangerous, predatory, and venomous marine animals; and many other
topics of interest. It also includes numerous authoritative charts
and tables covering all aspects of the diving experience. Revision
6 of the U.S. Navy Diving Manual represents the culmination of
extensive research and empirical validation of its core the crucial
air tables that can mean the difference between life and death.
These tables, as well as the detailed and carefully researched
text, make this latest edition of the Manual an indispensable
reference and instructional source for military and civilian divers
alike."
