Gradient FactorsGradient factors are becoming the most popular method of implementing user selectable decompression profiles in technical dive computers. Gradient factors allow the diver some control of the initial stop depths and times of required decompression dives. The Shearwater Predator, Liquivision X1 and Xeo, Dive Rite NiTek Q, and Hollis DG05 all offer versions of gradient factor modification to Bühlmann's sixteen compartment decompression model. If you aren't familiar with theory and practice of gradient factors, we suggest taking a few minutes with GRADIENT FACTORS by Matti Anttila, Ph.D.
