There are programs offered to teach people the art of doing decompressions dives. IANTD, PADI, and TDI are all dive agencies that offer such courses. Decompression dives are used by cavers and wreckers to accomplish theirs specific goals. These types of dives are not to be used lightly and require significant diving experience before undertaking such training. The dive profiles are much like you are used to, but, instead of a 3 min. safety stop you are now required to make that stop. As bottom times increase the number and depth of these stops increase. So, you on a longer dive are required to make a stop of 3 mins. at 20' and 7 mins at 10'. WWW.IANTD.COM is one site where you can find information on such training. Good luck! David W.
