DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the OC1 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This
model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The OC1 dive computer model is
based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the OC1, just as using the
U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sick-
ness, i.e. “the bends.”
Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can
predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
