Abstract:

The USN N2-O2 primary data set is a collection of dive profiles that the U.S. Navy uses to calibrate probabilistic decompression models for air and N2-O2 diving. Each dive profile describes the depthtimebreathing gas history,number of participating divers, and decompression outcome of experimental dives. Original research reports, research protocols, databases, and diving logs describing the experimental dives were searched for work and temperature information. A subset of the USN N2-O2 primary data set was augmented so that dive profiles included diver whole body oxygen consumption estimated from descriptions of work performed, work type, posture, water temperature, and diving dress. Two additional data files describing experimental dives that compared working and resting dives were also augmented
