In Deeptech you wrote a page on anecdotal evidence for deep stops.

It is (at least over here in Australia) fairly widespread practice to =
add one or two short deeper stops over what the deco models predict.=20

Are you suggesting not just adding a couple more stop depths, but =
stopping for a minute or two at a much greater depth, like say 1/2 the =
pressure change between your bottom depth and your first stop ?=20

This would seem to suggest that normal ascent rates (10m/min)are not =
slow enough stop bubbling from fast tissues ? (Bubbles/shunts in the =
lungs being a cause for post dive fatigue).
