Giovanni, how to say "bullshit" in Italian?  :-)

Apart from unexpected exertion in a planned LONG deco, how does your
Software prevent your HOSE from breaking?  ;-)  "never go out of
air"!  Harrumpf!

Gio, that's the most common MISCONCEPTION about dive-computer models
(using M-values in a multicompartmental DIFFUSION model).  The
compartments and model has NOTHING to do with the body tissues!
There has NEVER been ANY scientific study (from Haldane to Buhlmann
to the algorithm-tweakers of today) that showed any DATA that
related "our tissues" to anything that ANY dive computer has ever
produced.

What you see between conventional and deep stops is just what your
artificial construct shows.  Often GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). :-)

All computer models and algorithms are theoretical constructs that
one HOPES will serve as an adequate PROXY for monitoring the
phenomenon of on/off-gassing and prevention of DCS.

It's a very primitive and inexact science.

Trust ONLY your bio-feedback and the computer between your EARS,
assuming the latter is not defective.  :-)
