The intent of this book is to present a working view of the reduced gradient bubble model (RGBM), decompression mechanics, and applications to technical diving. The focus is RGBM theory and correlations with experiment, lab testing, field-testing, and data. It is directed to the reader with some rudimentary understanding of decompression. Dual phase mechanics, materials, and bubble phenomenology are linked, field testing, data, and validation arediscussed, and the physical couplings are presented. Extensive references are appended.Some have called it a revolution in modern diving. The RGBM has already gained widespread acceptance and popularity with growth in prominence, particularly in the deep, decompression, and mixed gas sectors. This is due to released Tables (NAUI), meter implementations (Suunto, Mares, Dacor, Plexus, Hydrospace, Plexus, Zeagle) computer software (GAP, ABYSS, RGBMdiving.com), testing, validation and wholesale positive results and feedback by real divers across all venues.Contents include:Computational Syntheses Results and ComparisonsMaterial Dynamics Deep Stops and HeliumCritical Phase Volume Limit Risk Analysis and ValidationRGBM Implementations
