Table 8. Comex accelerated saturation decompression procedures; FO2 – inspired fraction of oxygen; msw – metres of seawater; PO2 – inspired pressure of oxygen .

Depth (msw) Chamber gas Ascent rate (msw·h-1)
Decompression from from not deeper than 130 msw
130–16 PO2 = 60 kPa 1.4
16–0 FO2 = 23% 0.6
Decompression from from not deeper than 90 msw
90–20 PO2 = 70 kPa 1.6
20–15 FO2 = 23% 1.2
15–0 FO2 = 23% 0.6
Decompression from from not deeper than 70 msw
70–25 PO2 = 80 kPa 1.7
25–15 FO2 = 23% 1.2
