Decompression Theory nitrogen at depth tissues absorbs Body -

releases nitrogen Slow, staged ascent (“decompression”) -and is exhaled Stages determined by time/depth of harmlessly

• Sensors send data to the Analog to Digital (A/D) Converter.

• A/D Converter changes analog data to digital signals.

• The Micro Processor calculates the data and presents it to the diver via the LCD Display.
