In this blog post, we'll compare three decompression stop algorithms used in technical diving: Bühlmann Gradient Factors (GF), Varying Permeability Model (VPM), and Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM).

They've been overwhelmingly important in preventing decompression sickness, but new divers tend to find gradient factors confusing.

Among the most common models in this area are the Bühlmann gradient factors. This blog delves into what they are and also explains M-values.

British divers have been wondering about the implications of a recent ban on dangerous knives. Will these changes in the law affect the type of equipment that can be used on dives?

In this blog, we take a look at the wording of these new regulations and see what impact it has for recreational and technical diving.
