I was diving with someone the other day who had to drive to an altitude of about 800m afterwards. In order to reduce his risk he decided to extend his safety stop on the final dive from 3 minutes to 7. This was at 5m.
He reckoned that you offgas faster under slight pressure. Something to do with increased circulation and having a greater number of small bubbles instead of a small number of large bubbles.
Does anyone agree with this? Any articles or science papers that have tested this?
