Richard Pyle's algorithm is one way to generate the stop data. The algorithm calculates the mean of the distance between the deepest point in the dive and the deepest stop generated by the usual means. It then adds a minute or so at that depth and repeats this process until you reach the first 'hard' stop. Once all the deep stops are calculated, they are added to the original dive plan, and a new multi-level table is calculated with the deep stops treated as bottom time. There's in interesting article at: http://www.bishop.hawaii.org/bishop/treks/palautz97/deepstops.html [SNIP] >combination causing post-dive fatigue.

I don't notice a difference in post-dive fatigue regardless of the gases used, and there is no clear consensus on this issue. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
