The Bühlmann decompression algorithm is a mathematical model (algorithm) of the way in which inert gases enter and leave the human body as the ambient pressure changes.

Prevents decompression sickness[edit | edit source]

Versions are used to create Bühlmann decompression tables and in personal dive computers to compute no-decompression limits and decompression schedules for dives in real-time.

Decompression tables[edit | edit source]

The decompression tables allow divers to plan the depth and duration for dives and the required decompression stops and helps prevent decompression sickness in divers.
