Do I use deep stops? Yes. Do they make me feel better? No difference I can tell. I use them as a point of reference and I am only there for about 2-3 minutes. So why do I use them? I really like having a stopping point, coming out of the deeper stuff, to scrub up, reattaching reels, stowing regs, checking computers, checking on buddy, getting deco bottle ready, etc prior to going up. I really see no down side to doing deep stops. Sure you are still uptaking gas but it is only for a couple of minutes.
