Abstract: Extension of Sur-D O2 dives to depths beyond those prescribed by U. S. Navy tables (tables 1-15, 1970, computed by the Workman model) has been under investigation in this laboratory using the Doppler ultrasonic bubble detector to monitor all subjects during decompression. Nitrogen elimination rates were estimated by a breath-hold technique during oxygen breathing immediately on return to the 40 foot stop. The data indicate a negative correlation between nitrogen elimination rate and the existence of either bubbles, or minor symptoms, for any particular profile. Such results are consistent with the concept that separated gas exists in tissues, and it is probable that Sur-DO2 tables favor this situation.
