About These Tables

These tables apply to helium-oxygen (HeO2) and mixed gas diving using surface-supplied equipment (SSDS) and the MK 16 MOD 1 closed-circuit UBA. HeO2 is the standard breathing gas for deep commercial and naval diving operations where nitrogen narcosis and extended air decompression would be limiting factors.

Key differences from air tables:

  • No nitrogen narcosis at depth (helium is narcosis-free)
  • Faster uptake and elimination kinetics than nitrogen
  • Gas switches during decompression (HeO2 → 50% O2 → 100% O2) dramatically shorten decompression time
  • Chamber oxygen periods required post-dive
  • Commanding Officer authorization required for exceptional exposure bottom times

Table 12-4. Surface-Supplied Helium-Oxygen Decompression Table

(DESCENT RATE 75 FPM — ASCENT RATE 30 FPM)

Gas Switches:

  • Bottom Mix (HeO2): All stops at 50 FSW and deeper
  • 50% O2: Stop at 40 FSW
  • 100% O2: Stops at 30 and 20 FSW

Notes:

  • Stop times (min) include travel time, except first HeO2 stop and first O2 stop
  • “Chamber O2 Periods” indicates required post-dive chamber oxygen breathing periods (each period = 30 minutes)
  • Bottom times listed after “Exceptional Exposure” line require Commanding Officer’s authorization

The following tables apply to the MK 16 MOD 1 closed-circuit underwater breathing apparatus operating at a constant partial pressure of oxygen of 1.3 ata.


Table 15-8. No Decompression Limits and Repetitive Group Designators for 1.3 ata ppO2 N2O2 Dives

Notes:

  • Diver does not acquire a repetitive group designator during dives to these depths
  • * Highest repetitive group that can be achieved at this depth regardless of bottom time
  • Depths at 160 FSW and deeper are Exceptional Exposure (require CO authorization)

Table 15-9. Residual Nitrogen Timetable for 1.3 ata ppO2 N2O2 Dives

This table has two parts:

  1. Surface Interval Credit Table — Determines new repetitive group after a surface interval
  2. Residual Nitrogen Times — Minutes of residual nitrogen time for the repetitive dive
Part 1: Surface Interval Credit Table

Locate your previous repetitive group designation. Read horizontally to find the column where your surface interval falls. Read down to find your new repetitive group.

* = Dives following surface intervals longer than this are not repetitive dives. Use actual bottom times in the Tables 15-8 and 15-10 to compute decompression for such dives.

All times in h:mm format.

Note: The Surface Interval Credit intervals for 1.3 ata ppO2 N2O2 are identical to those for Air (Table 9-8 Part 1), since both use the same nitrogen offgassing model.

Part 2: Residual Nitrogen Times (Minutes)

Enter with Dive Depth (rows) and Repetitive Group at End of Surface Interval (columns).

** = Residual Nitrogen Time cannot be determined using this table. See paragraph 9-9.1 subparagraph 8 for guidance. Substitute the ** depths in this table for those in the instructions. = Repetitive dives to these depths are equivalent to remaining on the surface. Add the bottom time of the dive to the preceding surface interval. Use the Surface Interval Credit Table (SICT) to determine the repetitive group at the end of the dive.

Table 15-12. Residual Helium Timetable for 1.3 ata ppO2 HeO2 Dives

Part 1: Surface Interval Credit Table (Helium)

Locate the diver’s repetitive group designation from his previous dive in the “Previous Group” column. Read across to find the interval in which the diver’s surface interval lies. The column header shows the new repetitive group designation.

  • Minimum surface interval for a repetitive dive is 0:10 (hours:minutes).
  • Surface intervals less than 0:10 are not permitted.
  • Intervals beyond the last value marked with * are not repetitive – use actual bottom times with Tables 15-11 and 15-13.

Note: All surface intervals are in hours:minutes format. The “Not Rep (>)” column shows the threshold beyond which the dive is no longer considered repetitive.


Part 2: Residual Helium Times (Minutes)

After determining the new repetitive group designation from Part 1, read down the appropriate column to the row matching the repetitive dive depth to find the Residual Helium Time (RHT) in minutes. Add the RHT to the planned bottom time of the repetitive dive to obtain the equivalent single dive time for decompression planning.

Table Notes

  • Repetitive dives to these depths are equivalent to remaining on the surface. Add the bottom time of the dive to the preceding surface interval. Use the Surface Interval Credit Table (SICT) to determine the repetitive group at the end of the dive.
  • ** Residual Helium Time cannot be determined using this table. See paragraph 9-9.1 subparagraph 8 for guidance. Substitute the ** depths in this table for those in the instructions.
  • + Read vertically down to the 35 or 60 fsw repetitive dive depth to obtain the RHT. Decompress on the 35 or 60 fsw table.

MK 16 MOD 1 Closed-Circuit UBA Tables (0.75 ata ppO2)

(DESCENT RATE 60 FPM — ASCENT RATE 30 FPM)

The following tables apply to the MK 16 MOD 1 closed-circuit underwater breathing apparatus operating at a constant partial pressure of oxygen of 0.75 ata.


Table 15-14. No-Decompression Limits and Repetitive Group Designators for 0.75 ata ppO2 N2O2 Dives

Notes:

  • Diver does not acquire a repetitive group designator during dives to these depths
  • * Highest repetitive group that can be achieved at this depth regardless of bottom time
  • Blank cells = Group not achievable at this depth
  • Depths at 160 FSW and deeper are Exceptional Exposure (require CO authorization)

Table 15-15. Residual Nitrogen Timetable for Repetitive 0.75 ata Constant ppO2 N2O2 Dives

Part 1: Surface Interval Credit Table

Note: The Surface Interval Credit intervals for 0.75 ata ppO2 N2O2 are identical to those for Air (Table 9-8 Part 1), since both use the same nitrogen offgassing model.

Locate the diver’s repetitive group designation from his previous dive in the left column. Read horizontally to the interval in which the diver’s surface interval lies. Read vertically downward to the new repetitive group designation.

* Dives following surface intervals longer than the “Not Rep” time are not repetitive dives. Use actual bottom times in Tables 15-14 and 15-16 to compute decompression for such dives.


Part 2: Residual Nitrogen Times (Minutes)

Using the new repetitive group designation from Part 1, read down the column to the row representing the depth of the repetitive dive. The time at the intersection is the Residual Nitrogen Time (RNT) in minutes to be applied to the repetitive dive.

Notes

  • Repetitive dives to these depths are equivalent to remaining on the surface. Add the bottom time of the dive to the preceding surface interval. Use the Surface Interval Credit Table (SICT) to determine the repetitive group at the end of the dive.

  • ** Residual Nitrogen Time cannot be determined using this table. See paragraph 9-9.1 subparagraph 8 for guidance. Substitute the ** depths in this table for those in the instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use helium-oxygen instead of air at depth?

Air causes nitrogen narcosis at depths beyond ~100 FSW (individual variation), which impairs diver judgment and performance. Helium does not cause narcosis, making HeO2 the preferred gas for deep operations. HeO2 also has faster decompression kinetics than air at equivalent depths due to helium’s lower solubility.

What are the gas switch requirements?

USN Table 12-4 mandates specific gas switches during ascent:

  1. Bottom mix (HeO2) — all bottom time and stops at 50 FSW and deeper
  2. 50% O2 — stop at 40 FSW
  3. 100% O2 — stops at 30 and 20 FSW

These switches are non-optional and dramatically reduce total decompression time.

What does “Chamber O2 Periods” mean?

Each chamber O2 period is 30 minutes of 100% oxygen breathing in a deck recompression chamber (DRC) after surfacing. This surface decompression (SurDO2) completes the decompression obligation started in the water. The number of periods required increases with bottom time and depth.
