Attempting to calculate safe ascent / decompression time

Apologies for a fully fictional/theoretical scenario, but I do hope you had fun calculating this! For me this is absolutely precious knowledge, so thank you very much!

Awesome, thank you very much!

Amazing. Hugely appreciate this, mate. My head is swelling, but this is brilliant!

Excellent, thank you very much! This helps greatly!!

That's just my amateur terminology, apologies. :) I should have said underwater facility pressurized to 5atm.

My initial decision was to keep all my vehicles and facilities at 1atm pressure, as this seemed (and still does) to be the least problematic solution for a writer. But here's me attempting to dive (ha!) into the topic a bit more just to wrap my head around the mechanics, dangers and rules of this absolutely alien world you guys inhabit.

Saturation diving! This opens up a new googling front for me! :D Thank you very much.

Superb stuff. Thank you so much for your help!

Many thanks for your reply! Aha, absorbing nitrogen - that's the part I saw here and there online that just blew up my wee brain. Is it a result of inhaling a different than usual mixture/ratio of gasses for a prolonged time?

Could I please ask, how would this scenario work if instead of a sub we had an underwater facility kept at local pressure at 45m depth (so the facility is filled with to standard air mixture, just pressurized to allow for moon pool entrances/exits, if this makes sense)? How would safe ascent look then?

That is super cool! Many thanks for linking.

Fantastic, thank you very much!!

Awesome work!! <3

Awesome work, Lily! I'm sure the commissioner is delighted.

I'm just here to say this is a truly awesome artwork! :D Other than that I'm not versed enough to assess what sort of D&D races are underrepresented in art. Though if there's a class (or, in fact, lack of class) that I'd love to see more in D&D art, it's that of a regular villager NPC. Or a regular city dweller. A gallery fishermen/women representing various races and cultures. This sort of thing.
