What is the scuba diving decompression table?
It is used to plan your decompression so you do not come up with excessive nitrogen in your blood therefore giving you the bends.The tables give you time limits at different depths where most people will not get decompression sickness. There are different tables out there, but all have the same commonalities, such as having short time limits at deeper depths and longer time limits at shallower depths.You may also want to see a longer answer in the question "What does decompression mean in diving?"
How can the bends be prevented?
Don't dive too deep. Don't exceed no-decompression limits for the depth you dive to. (limits are available in any of the dive calculating tables) Ascend at a slow pace.
What is decompression therapy and what is it used for?
Decompression therapy is a type of therapy that is used for spinal back pain relief. Using this type of decompression therapy allows for minimal recovery time.
How do you use the word decompression in a sentence?
The decompression of gas caused the tube to break. Removing compression from something is decompression.

When was Emotional Decompression Chamber created?
Emotional Decompression Chamber was created in 2008.
What are the release dates for Decompression - 2014?
Decompression - 2014 was released on: USA: 2014
Why do scuba divers need to be depressurised?
That only occurs when divers remain under longer than the recommended no-decompression limits. But it is done to allow the body to slowly rid itself of nitrogen that has built up in the bloodstream due to breathing pressurized air at depth. If it isn't done, the bubbles pop in a blood and cause decompression sickness, which is very dangerous.
What is decompression illness?
It is any illness that is related to a release of pressure from the body such as barotrauma .. baro (pressure) trauma (injury). It includes decompression sickness, but it is not limited to decompression sickness. It is also not limited to diving even though that is what is mostly thought of when discussing decompression illness or DCI.
How long can a diver dive in 1 day?
It depends on many variables, such as the time the diver stays at a particular depth, the temperature, level of diver exertion, diver's physiology, etc, etc. Dive tables or a dive computer is used to calculate how long it is safe for the diver to stay submerged. The primary limitation on dive duration/depth during a day is how much Nitrogen the diver has absorbed into his or her tissues. Exceeding the safe limits can cause decompression illness. These limits are only rough guidelines however, as some people are at higher/lower risk for decompression illness based on their physiology, level of heath and fitness, and other factors.
