Re: [GSAS-Member] Any scuba divers in the group?

Today's diving certification groups don't use the Navy tables. In fact, 
the PADI recreational diver tables are designed so that decompression, 
while still conducted for safety, is optional. In other words, if you 
are diving within the limits of the tables, you can bolt for the surface 
in an emergency and be relatively certain that you won't get bent. 

It's always best NOT to do that of course as there are no guarantees, 
but the sport has about 100 years of research behind it and is as safe 
as being underwater can get... if you stay smart anyway.
