Talk:Dive profile

distance and time
How long should it take a diver to reach a depth of 155 feet? Is there an average time to reach this depth or does it depend on the diver? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.3.138 (talk) 02:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Asymtomatic bubbles
I am reverting this good-faith edit, as it contradicts what is true. The preceding sentence is undoubtedly correct, as the body will eventually eliminate excess inert gas. The issue of build-up of asymptomatic bubbles, leading to slower off-gassing on multiple repetitive dives, does exist. However, this edit gives the impression that such bubbles are never eliminated. Some dive tables, such as the SAA Buhlmann system, contain guidance such as "Take one day off diving per week" to allow the body to eliminate asymptomatic bubbles (and to allow for very slow compartments outside of the model). I know of no DCS incidents that have been attributed to bubble build-up when this sort of schedule is followed.

I would suggest that if the issue of asymptomatic bubbles is mentioned in this article, then it needs to be reworded for accuracy and an accessible source cited. Perhaps one of the articles on diving decompression or dive tables would a better place to explain this more fully. --RexxS (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Addition: I've tried to rewrite the section for clarity and to incorporate the issues above. Feel free to improve it. --RexxS (talk) 14:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
