Adapting to rapid ascents which produce high microbubble

Incorporating consistency with real physical laws for gas kinetics
The Suunto RGBM predicts both dissolved and free gas in the blood
and tissues of divers. It is a significant advancement on the classic
Haldane models, which do not predict free gas. The Suunto RGBM
provides additional safety through its ability to adapt to a variety of
situations and dive profiles.
3.21.1 Diver Safety
Because any decompression model is purely theoretical and does
not monitor the actual body of a diver, no decompression model
can guarantee the absence of DCS. Experimentally it has been
shown that the body adapts to decompression to some degree
when diving is constant and frequent. Personal adjustment settings
are available for divers who dive constantly and are ready to accept
greater personal risk.
CAUTION:
Always use the same personal and altitude
adjustment settings for the actual dive and for the planning.
Increasing the personal adjustment setting from the planned
setting as well as increasing the altitude adjustment setting can
lead to longer decompression times deeper and thus to larger
required gas volume. You can run out of breathing gas underwater
if the personal adjustment setting has been changed after dive
planning.
