Resource Pro
MULTIPLE TISSUE TRACKING
The Resource Pro tracks twelve tissue compartments with halftimes ranging from 5 to 480 min-
utes. The Nitrogen Bar Graph always displays the controlling compartment that is the only one
important at that time.
Think of the Nitrogen Bar Graph as transparent displays laid on top of one another. The tissue
compartment that has filled up fastest is the only one that can be seen from the top.
At any particular point, one tissue compartment may be absorbing nitrogen, while another that
was previously higher may be off-gassing. One compartment hands over control to another com-
partment at a different depth. This feature of the Decompression Model is the basis of multi-
level diving, one of the most important contributions the Resource Pro offers you . Take ad-
vantage of this feature and make all of your dives multilevel dives.
NO DECOMPRESSION LIMITS
Note how the No Decompression Limits (NDL) for the Resource Pro compare with the U.S. Navy
limits (Fig. 53). For most depths, the Resource Pro provides somewhat less no decompression
times than the U.S. Navy Tables. However, while the No Decompression Limits may be less, you
will receive increased allowable Bottom Times as you take advantage of the multilevel dive capa-
bilities offered by the Resource Pro.
