Oxygen Toxicity bargraph. The value is either the CNS%
or the OTU%.

O

2

%

Oxygen percentage or oxygen fraction in the breathing
gas. Standard air has 21% oxygen.

Oxygen partial pressure Limits the maximum depth to which the used Nitrox mixture

can safely be used. The maximum partial pressure limit
for enriched air diving is 1.4 bar. The contingency partial
pressure limit is 1.6 bar. Dives beyond this limit have the
risk for immediate oxygen toxicity.

PO

2

Abbreviation for oxygen partial pressure.

RGBM

Abbreviation for Reduced Gradient Bubble Model.

Reduced Gradient Bubble Model

Modern algorithm for tracking both dissolved

and free gas in divers.

Repetitive dive

Any dive whose decompression time limits are affected by
residual nitrogen absorbed during previous dives.

Residual nitrogen

The amount of excess nitrogen remaining in a diver after
one or more dives.

SURF TIME

Abbreviation for surface interval time.

Surface interval time

Elapsed time between surfacing from a dive and beginning
a descent for the subsequent repetitive dive.
