To prevent or minimize decompression sickness, divers must properly plan, conduct, and monitor decompression. Divers follow a decompression model to allow the release of excess inert gases dissolved in their body tissues at acceptable risk, which accumulated as a result of breathing at ambient pressures greater than surface atmospheric pressure. Decompression models take into account variables such as depth and time of dive, breathing gasses, altitude, and equipment to develop appropriate procedures for safe ascent.
