Continuous Decompression is the ability to measure and calculate, in real time, the optimum depth for decompression. This is a safer type of decompression as it more closely follows the way nitrogen is eliminated from the body. Continuous decompression is the ability to measure and calculate, in real time, the optimum depth for decompression. Since the calculation is updated at very short intervals, the diver is guided to the surface in numerous short stops. The sets of ideal decompression depths tend towards an exponential curve, which represents the function governing tissue nitrogen absorption and elimination. Combined with a controlled ascent rate, it is one of the most natural decompression methods known today.
