Management of exposure to oxygen toxicity is an important element of technical diving. Most often this is accomplished during the dive planning stage through the use of a dive/decompression planning program on a computer. Having developed such a program myself using the good ole’ FORTRAN programming language, I found that incorporating oxygen toxicity calculations was more involved than just a straightforward application of the established equations. Obtaining “exact” calculations during ascent or descent segments of a dive profile presented the main challenge. So I did some more research, dusted-off my calculus book, and came up with some calculation methods which I would like to share with the technical diving community. The information presented in this article is intended to serve as a primer or review for some and to offer programming suggestions for others.
