Abstract
If the subject of this paper were simple and easy to resolve, it would not have been included in this proceedings. Increasing effective bottom working time, while keeping the decompression penalty as small as possible, is perhaps the central aim of all diving techniques. It is for this reason that the various diving techniques have been developed but only with saturation diving has the decompression penalty for unlimited working time been reduced to zero, at least until a series of working periods has been completed.
