Ratio Deco for Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) Diving
Ratio deco for CCR is course designed to study, discuss, analyze and understand a wide variety of existing decompression models and their pro and con’s. During the course you will develop a strategy wherein you apply the best of each of these theories to your personal rebreather diving application. Ratio Deco for CCR is a methodology that allows a diver to apply various existing decompression models into a cohesive strategy for the team to apply during a CCR dive. It is decompression “on the fly.” Ratio Deco is NOT a scientific decompression model or theory, rather it is an application of those theories.
Using Ratio Deco for CCR requires a series of requisite parameters including, but not limited to, complete situational awareness, cohesive team diving, standardized UTD back-gasses (dilute) and bailout deco mixtures, along with a through understanding of the Ratio Deco for CCR methodology and all it’s parameters, and the discipline to stay within those limitations. The user of Ratio Deco for CCR Diving must acknowledge the need to build real-life, in-water experience with the through study, practice and an awareness of risk vs. benefit.

This
class covers in detail all the aspects of Ratio Deco for CCR
Diving, or what is better known as “Decompression on the Fly.” We
will start with the history of decompression modeling, Henry’s law,
Haldanean theory, US Navy, Workman, Bulhmann, VMP and RGBM, and
most importantly how we apply these to personal CCR Diving and
decompression strategy. You will also understand the overall
concept and curve and how to essentially do “Deco On the Fly”. The
class will end with examples and exercises.
The goals of Ratio Deco for CCR training are:
To develop the student’s practical knowledge and understanding of
current and past decompression theories.
To enable the student to create an organized and safe plan for
decompression while decompresses on CCR without reliance on
traditional tables or computers.
To create a consist decompression strategy that can be used on CCR
or Open Circuit or when Bailing out without reliance on traditional
tables or computers.
To create a “thinking” decompression diver who is able to adjust
for changes in a dive profile during the dive.
