i find a 20% DCS rate per dive (or day) slightly excessive. finding shit is really no measure of a sensible approach to diving. i've known "great "divers like this(dive till your out of air & then just come up) over the years. most of them are out of diving now due to injuries. I'd rather be a deco weenie then a veg! dive on & on hank In a message dated 96-10-29 02:57:41 EST, you write: << Subj: Re: Deep Stops Date: 96-10-29 02:57:41 EST From: anscott@ns*.co*.au* To: chris@ab*.co* CC: techdiver@terra.net Chris i dived a wreck in 200ft this weekend with a bunch of guys who wore NO bouyancy device and only single tanks. They did bottom times of 15 - 18 mins with decos ranging from 15 - 20 mins. I saw one guy do some deep stops. Out of 10 divers one had slight shoulder discomfort and another a splitting headache. Not a high DCS rate really. Perhaps you should cut your 30 mins down to 15 and dive with a single tank. The quote of the weekend was "you can never be too safe" as they lowered a spare cylinder to be hung under the boat. They even managed to find a bar of silver and lug a porthole back to the anchor line with their single tanks. I dived twins, did 25 mins and didn't find squat.
