Thanks for all the replies.
I looked at some of the deep stop lit (Pyle, etc.) and I saw both pro and con. I choose not to do a deep stop as there's not a lot of agreement with that.
The dive profile I am talking about is my typical boat dive, coming up from 60-80 feet and getting back on the boat. I've noticed lately that some of the divers come up pretty fast, and I'm not sure they take the full safety stop if the conditions are rough. Some divers ascend pretty fast from the stop depth to the surface.
My computer (Nitek Trio) starts a safety stop when you get shallower than 20', but starts over again if you drop below 20. I go to 16 feet and hold that for 3min until the stop clears. I can hang there without going below 20ft if the conditions are rough. I'm going to keep doing the 10ft for 2min after the SS if I have the gas. From 30ft and shallower I may start going with a 20fpm or 5ft/15sec ascent rate. I'm thinking that being more careful with ascent rates and adding the additional stop at 10ft may someday keep me out of trouble.
But then again spreading grape jelly on your mirror keeps elephants out of your bedroom.
