=== Clipperton in-water recompression tables === [[Image:Clipperton IWR.jpg|left|thumb|Clipperton In-water Recompression Table]] [[Image:Clipperton a IWR.jpg|thumb|Clipperton(a) In-water Recompression Table]] The Clipperton and Clipperton(a) methods were developed for use on a [[Scientific diving|scientific]] expedition to the [[Clipperton Island|atoll of Clipperton]], 1,300 km from the Mexican coast.<ref name=Blatteau/> The two versions are based on the equipment available for treatment with the Clipperton(a) table being designed for use with rebreathers. Both methods begin with 10 minutes of surface oxygen. Recompression is to 30 fsw (9 msw) for the Clipperton IWR table, oxygen is then breathed for 60 minutes and while surfacing at 1 metre per minute without any air breaks. For the Clipperton(a) IWR table, descent is made to the initial treatment depth of 30 msw, maintaining a [[partial pressure]] of 1.4 ATA. and breathed at that depth for 10 minutes followed by ascent to 9 msw at 1 metre per minute. As near as possible to 100% oxygen is breathed at 9 msw for 30 minutes, followed by ascent to the surface at 1 metre per minute. Oxygen breathing on the surface for 6 hours post treatment and [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] hydration fluids are also administered following both treatment tables.
