Do you have the complete reference for the study you mention (Andy Pilmanis). I
am really interested in the pros and cons of the so called 'precautionary
stops'. BSAC recommend a one minute safety stop at 6 metres (presumably only
for dives that are in some considerable excess of this depth). Given recent
posts by Richard Pyle suggesting deeper stops, should precautionary stops be
done deeper than this?
