DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the VT 4.0 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences.
The VT 4.0 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the VT 4.0, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression
Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your
body will react to a particular dive profile.
