 Deep stops
Did some dives in Spain over the past couple of weeks
One of the dives on a wreck at 45m: 3 of us on air, a separate group of instructor plus 2 students on a trimix course!
Back to the point:
Max depth of 45m on air, most of the dive at 40m
Stops at 24, 18 (swapped to 50%), 12, 9, 5.5, 3
The "5.5" was to make sure the Suuntos didn't sulk if you went from 5.9 to 6.0 and then "stopped the stops"
We'd completed all the mandatory deco the Suuntos requested (5.5m) and then did an extra 3+mins at 3 (no hurry nice and warm, lots of fish to look at!)
The deeps stops were all "current minute plus 1 full minute"
No tiredness afterwards - just made sure to drink plenty of water (v.hot on the rhib)
Personally, deep stops on anything where I carry a deco gas, i.e. pretty much anything below 20m requiring planned deco |
