DOMAIN / COMMERCIAL

Commercial decompression, examined as a safety-critical system.

OpenDeco brings together public evidence on surface-supplied, bell, saturation and occupational decompression so procedures can be compared with their assumptions, source data and observed outcomes.

What we cover

Commercial decompression is governed by procedures, tables, standards and operational constraints that do not map cleanly onto recreational diving. OpenDeco keeps those differences visible instead of forcing every exposure into a scuba frame.

  • Surface-supplied air and mixed-gas diving
  • Bell diving and transfer-under-pressure procedures
  • Saturation decompression and excursions
  • Chamber decompression
  • Occupational exposure datasets
  • Table and standard lineage
  • Procedure-to-procedure comparison
  • Public incident and outcome evidence where defensible

What the commercial programme asks

  1. Which public tables and procedures can be reconstructed precisely enough for direct comparison?
  2. Where do operational constraints create decompression choices that cannot be represented by a recreational-computer model alone?
  3. How well do historical occupational datasets describe the populations and exposures they are used to justify?
  4. Which procedure differences are scientifically meaningful, and which are artifacts of notation, units or implementation?

Current work

Published and active OpenDeco work in commercial appears here when it has a real project record, source trail and status. Draft ideas without a defined research record do not appear as public projects.

Empty

No public commercial projects yet.

Relevant datasets, models and methods remain available through the OpenDeco research catalogue.

OpenDeco keeps domain labels visible because evidence can travel across fields more easily than its assumptions do. Cross-domain comparison is useful only when the population, pressure history, endpoint and model context remain explicit.
