Abstract:

This report was written to promulgate a set of tables to be used by divers and diving supervisors for quick and easy conversion of depth and partial pressure combinations into usable oxygen percentage figures. The tables can also be used for making necessary depth measurement conversions between depth of sea water, atmospheres absolute, millimeters of mercury absolute, and pounds per square inch absolute.
