Contains the dive profile for a long, extremely deep, decompression dive, using mixed gases, in a flooded mine.
An object of class "dive".
This dataset contains the dive profile data for an extreme dive in a flooded mine.
This was a dive to 110 metres for 7 minutes, followed by 147 minutes of staged decompression, including 40 minutes in a dry habitat at 4 metres. Five different mixed gases (trimix and nitrox) were breathed.
The diver suffered decompression sickness after this dive. An analysis of the dive profile was presented by Buzzacott et al (2013).
The dataset is an object of class "dive"
containing the dive profile.
It can be plotted and printed (using plot.dive
and print.dive). The nitrogen saturation can be
computed using haldane and the
cumulative oxygen toxicity using oxtox.
