I think one of the key issues with using "deep stops" in recreational limits is:
1. Understand that you are off gassing fast tissues but are loading medium and slow tissues
2. During slow ascents, you are doing the same!
3. Off-gassing fast tissues in recreational diving may not be an important issue! It is the medium and slow tissues that get you into trouble after your ascent and once you are on the surface.
4. Off-gassing fast tissues is an issue with long, deep dives - saturation diving.
Consider this: If you want to add to your conservatism, add additional minutes to your last stop depth rather than adding stops deep.
