3.2 Advantages
On first dives with correct diving technique and avoiding risk situations, there are no extended decom-
pression times. On the other hand, it is possible to react correctly in risk situations due to the realistic simu-
lation of the physiological processes in the body. This increases safety considerably. Risk situations are, for
example:
• Repetitive dives (especially with short intervals) and dives on several successive days
• Dives in cold water
• Dives with increased workload (currents, exertion)
• Yoyo dives
• Flying after the dive
• Excessive ascent rate.
In case of mistakes on the part of the diver, actual prevention of decompression sickness is possible for the
first time due to the reconstruction of the bubble formation and its consequences. The correction of the
decompression must not be confused with a real recompression, which serves as therapy of existing damage.
