I've heard that the diving time tables used for scuba diving were derived from some nazi (or maybe Japanese?) testing on human subjects. The claim was that the US Navy took the outputs to create the commonly used tables. I just did a bit of googling and couldn't find any evidence of this claim though. Might just be some kind of folk-tale within the dive instructor circles back in the 90s when I did my training.
