What Does SI Stand For?

SI stands for Surface Interval

SI, or Surface Interval, refers to the period of time a diver spends at the surface between dives. This interval is crucial for allowing the body to eliminate excess nitrogen absorbed during the previous dive, thereby reducing the risk of decompression sickness. Proper management of the surface interval is essential for ensuring diver safety and optimizing dive profiles.
