back on track......

so following on from this, a weeks diving on ccr in the red sea, when you could do 2 dives a day if you wanted

these are your first dive planned max depths. Which days would you add another second shallower dive after a 2hr surface int, if any ???

(and i know it might depend on time/mixes etc. but roughly 90min run times for each dive..)

day 1 - 50m
day 2 - 85m
day 3 - 90m
day 4 - 110m
day 5 - 40m
day 6 - 40m


I would say 2 dives on days 1,5 and 6 definitely and possibly day 2 ...

Personally the only ones I would consider would be days 5+6, however if I'd been running those kind of dives on repetative days then I probably wouldn't. Would depend on what the 2nd dives were though.

In reality I wouldn't do the dives on days 2,3 or 4, too deep for me yet .

If I'm diving 50m+ then I do one dive, partly because of the deco issue and partly because I find it tiring otherwise. So probably the last two days, maybe the first if it isn't an early start on the 2nd. Depends on the dives really, if it's something interesting then I'm more likely to dive, if it isn't then I'm less likely. Depends on how I'm feeling too.

[Okeanos]

I just keep diving, I have dived deeper in the morning and shallower in the afternoon in the UK many times. I have never been close to the limits of CNS or OTU's. Just keep the dives a little shorter if need be.

If I were asked if I wanted to do more than 2 in a day on CCR after a deep one first, I would have to think about the dive and the following days dives to see what I thought. If it was shallow and I wanted to dive I would just run a really low setpoint if there were CNS concerns.

I wouldn't consider DCI as a problem.

[finbar.taylor]

I'll quite happily do 2x 60m in a day, more so than doing 4x30m I look at it as total assent in a day and have set my limit at 120m per 24 hours


except the trip to the coral sea where I averaged 130m a day for 9 days and one day was 36m, 30m, 30m, 25m, 65m, 18m - felt knakered after that day!

This is when padding out the stops becomes beneficial/mandatory and also not having a sunto as they kinda panik after about the thrid dive!

now Fin, I like that as a general rule of thumb.

120m of ascents per day

got any theory to back that up or is it a guestimation.

you can have as much theory as you want you will still do your own thing
