In 1987 the [[Sub-Aqua Association|SAA]] Bühlmann System was developed. This system used the dive tables and a set of rules so that people could dive safely and stay below their [[No Decompression Limit|no-decompression limit]]. The tables are still used today and are very popular, many dive computers still use the ZHL-8 algorithm and many tables are based on the ZHL-16 algorithm. These calculations also include considerations for repetitive<ref name=deco/><ref>{{cite journal |author=Bühlmann A.
