Sports / Fitness / Recreation / diving | | French term or phrase: autonomie | Still on the subject of diving safety:
En théorie et parce qu’il délivre un mélange à PpO2 variable, le recycleur trimix électronique optimise parfaitement la plongée. Vu comme cela, ce type d’appareil constitue même une sorte d’arme absolue.
Paradoxalement, le revers de la médaille réside dans les incroyables performances de ces appareils. Leur **autonomie** est telle que le plongeur rentre dans des procédures de décompression pas toujours maîtrisées.
Not sure how to translate "autonomie" in this context; it is given as "autonomy" in the glossaries in a diving sense, but I'd appreciate confirmation as I can't find much evidence of this on English sites on Google, only translated sites.
Many thanks again! |
