It is a significant advance on the classical Haldane models, which do not predict free
gas (microbubbles). The advantage of Suunto RGBM is additional safety through its
ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations. Suunto RGBM addresses a number of
diving circumstances outside the range of just dissolved gas models by:
• Monitoring continuous multiday diving
• Computing closely spaced repetitive diving
• Reacting to a dive deeper than the previous dive
• Adapting for rapid ascents which produce high micro-bubble (silent-bubble)
build-up
• Incorporating consistency with real physical laws for gas kinetics.
Suunto RGBM Adaptive decompression
The SUUNTO RGBM algorithm adapts its predictions of both the effects of micro-bubble
build-up and adverse dive profiles in the current dive series. It will also change these
calculations according to the personal adjustment you select.
The pattern and speed of decompression at the surface is adjusted according to
micro-bubble influence.
Also on repetitive dives adjustment may be applied to the maximum allowable nitrogen
overpressure in each theoretical tissue group.
Depending on circumstances Suunto RGBM will adapt the decompression obligations
by doing any or all of the following:
