My coworker is a newbie and has been bugging me to dive with him. We have opted for the blue hole in Santa Rosa NM as I refuse to dive in bad visibility and I also haven't been west of hill country yet.
i am aware it is a altitude dive at approximately 5,000 ft. My computer does altitude diving as well as adjusting my conservativism. we are planning on two dives one in the early AM and one early afternoon. Then drive back early evening and night.
I have no experience with altitude diving, so I am looking for anything I need to know. From what I have gathered my dive times with be shorter, decompression stops at all times (of course) and my biggest question is, as we drive back east the elevation decreases. From what I read this is a good thing. Am I correct in this thinking?
any help/thoughts would be great.
