The intent of this book is to present a working view of the reduced gradient bubble model (RGBM), decompression mechanics, and applications to technical diving. The focus is RGBM theory and correlations with experiment, lab testing, field-testing, and data. It is directed to the reader with some rudimentary understanding of decompression. Dual phase mechanics, materials, and bubble phenomenology are linked, field testing, data, and validation are discussed, and the physical couplings are presented. Extensive references are appended.
Some have called it a revolution in modern diving. The RGBM has already gained widespread acceptance and popularity with growth in prominence, particularly in the deep, decompression, and mixed gas sectors. This is due to released Tables (NAUI), meter implementations (Suunto, Mares, Dacor, Plexus, Hydrospace, Plexus, Zeagle) computer software (GAP, ABYSS, RGBMdiving.com), testing, validation and wholesale positive results and feedback by real divers across all venues.

Bruce Wienke is a Program Manager in the Nuclear Weapons Technology/ Simulation and Computing Office at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), with interests in computational decompression and models, gas transport, and phase mechanics. He heads the LANL Nuclear Counter Measures Dive Team involving Special Warfare Units both above and below the water.
In addition, he is an Instructor Trainer/Technical Instructor with NAUI, a Master Instructor with PADI , Institute Director for YMCA, and an Instructor Trainer/Technical Instructor for SDI/TDI. He has authored 5 monographs, over 200 technical journal articles and is an active contributor to underwater symposia, educational publications, technical periodicals and decompression workshops. He currently serves as a consultant for decompression algorithms in the industry, and works with DAN on applications of high performance computing and communications for diving.
