Where did the Helium Penalty come from?

Mar 18, 2026
This video explores the origin of the helium penalty in diving algorithms, stemming from assumptions made by Buhlmann based on the physical properties of gases. We discuss how these assumptions about helium element behavior led to its implementation in scuba diving models. Understanding gas laws and pressure is crucial for safe diving practices.
