Bühlmann decompression model

The Bühlmann decompression model is a scientific method used by divers to plan safe underwater ascents. It predicts how nitrogen and other gases dissolve in your body tissues at depth and guides how slowly you should ascend to prevent dangerous bubbles from forming—known as decompression sickness or "the bends." The model considers different tissue types with various rates of gas absorption and release. By calculating safe ascent profiles, it helps divers avoid health risks and ensures a controlled return to the surface, making diving safer based on science and physiology.
