Agree with DDM, but I was thinking that in reality you aren't going to be doing that kind of depth for awhile. There's a pretty decent hour long video on the subject if you want to get deeper into the technical side of it. In a nutshell you have different body parts that absorb N2 at different rates. On deep stops you are still absorbing N2 in some components and recent studies have shown this has a higher probability of creating DCS.
To say this is controversial is an understatement. There are hoards of people that have been taught the 'deep stop' model and they are having a very hard time giving it up. There is a MASSIVE thread about it in SB.
 
Concur, and again "deep stops" means different things to different folks. Example: vPlanner may call for a deeper first decompression stop than the Navy tables for the same dive profile; that does't necessarily mean that vPlanner says to make "deep stops".

Best regards,
DDM
