Richard,

How do you account for your slow deep ascent
and/or  deep  stops  in  your  overall  deco
management?

Do you add the longer ascent/deep stop times 
to  bottom  time  and do the shallower stops
accordingly? 

Or do the deep stops help overall offgassing
to the point where the shallower stops don't 
need to be extended?
