Thanks for your recent email. The Miss Doxsee did not belong to my company, Doxsee Sea Clam Co. of Point Lookout, NY. If I remember right she was built by Eric Kirkberg of Wildwood, N.J. back in the 1960s. She was a stern rigged sea clam dredger that provided surf clams to Doxsee Foods which was then shucking and canning clams in Lewes, Delaware.

In those says their general offices were in Baltimore, MD. Today they operate in Cape May, NJ, and go by the corporate name of SNOWDOXSEE Inc. I'm not sure if Eric or Doxsee Co. owned the boat. Eric did operate it and the clams went to Doxsee. The clams were landed at Wildwood and went across the Delaware Bay to Lewes by trailer truck and ferry. That's about all I know about it.

Best regards,
Bob Doxsee

Decompression Theory

An Explanation of Professor A.A. Buhlmann's ZH-L16 Algorithm

by Paul Chapman

Note to new divers and potential new divers:

This information is presented for general interest. Don't be scared off by what you see here - you don't need to learn any of this to become a safe and competent scuba diver. You will however need to understand dive planning.

The following is a summary of the decompression algorithm described by Dr A.A. Buhlmann in the fourth edition of his book Tauchmedizin ( diving medicine ) published in 1995 ( only in German. ) the book contains a considerable amount of other information and is published by Springer-Verlag ISBN 3-540-58970-8. Rumor has it that at the time of writing ( November 1999 ) an English translation is being prepared for publishing, so hopefully, in due course, this document will become redundant.

The algorithm is simply a "recipe" for modeling the behavior of inert gases, which diffuse in and out of our body tissues when breathed under varying pressures. The intention is that if the recipe models the actual processes in our bodies accurately enough, it can be used to plan dives ( and other pressure exposures ) with a view to avoiding decompression sickness.
