Planning and Monitoring Decompression
For planning and monitoring of nitrogen absorption, the data usually consists of the maximum depth reached during the dive and the length of time underwater. For repetitive dives it also includes the "surface interval", or the time spent above the water between the previous dive and the start of the current dive. This information is used to calculate the amount of residual nitrogen build-up in the diver's tissues after completing a dive.

Famous quotes containing the words planning and and/or planning:
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
“When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
