What is the maximum no-decompression time at 35 fsw?

The maximum no-decompression time at 35 feet of seawater (fsw) is indeed 232 minutes. This value is derived from established tables or dive computers that provide guidelines indicating how long a diver can remain at a certain depth without the need for mandatory decompression stops upon ascent.

At 35 fsw, the pressure exerted on the diver is approximately 1.5 times the surface pressure, and the body absorbs nitrogen while breathing air. The no-decompression limits are calculated based on this increased pressure, and the longer the diver stays at this depth, the more nitrogen accumulates in their body. The 232 minutes of no-decompression time at this depth provides a significant margin of safety, allowing divers to plan their dives effectively without risking decompression sickness, provided they adhere to the recommended guidelines.

Understanding these limits is crucial for dive planning and ensuring diver safety, making the maximum no-decompression times an essential piece of knowledge for any diving professional.
