| dc.description.abstract | The historical origins of the respective air decompression schedules of the British and United States Navies are reviewed with particular reference to the repetitive diving rules. No-stop diving is also discussed. A series of single dive and repetitive dive trials of the Royal Navy Air Table is presented. U.S. Navy and Royal Naval Physiological Laboratory (RNPL) 1968 repetitive dive rules were also tested according to their respective tables on a selection of dives. Comparison of the two methods produce a remarkably similar outcome for dives to similar depths. For dives to very dissimilar depths there is no comparison. The RNPL system has commendable simplicity but lacks the flexibility of the U.S. Navy system for use with successive dives to different depths. Observations on the results of a triple no-stop repetitive dive experiment are presented. It is concluded that little would be gained by further practical investigation of no-stop diving times.
