I don't think the suggested deco time required is exact. Risk increases if skipped, sure, but a hit is not certain. I one talked with a member here who skipped a large deco obligation to try to save his dead buddy. He was transported to a treatment facility, but all they did was monitor him until he was cleared to leave.It’s not clear whether he got such decompression treatment after being rescued. If he didn’t get decompression treatment & “physically well” after 2-3 days of observation, it shows that he has higher tolerance towards DCS than average people.
