RGBM is an algorithm devloped by Dr Bruce Wienke for calculating decompression stops needed for a particular dive profile. It is based on the Varying Permeability Model.
It is used in several dive computers, particularly those made by Suunto, Mares, HydroSpace Engineering and Underwater Technology Center. It is characterised by the assumption of asymmetric offgassing and compensation for nitrogen microbubbles, which can reduce the rate of offgassing.
