On Suunto, there is a "Deepstop", it explains Deepstop is used for deep dive with deep decompression stop during 1 or 2 minutes, is Deepstop interesting or useless for deep dive?

Yes, I am asking. Sorry for my English.I think he's asking whether it's a useful feature or not.
Thank you, it is very interesting.
With Suunto computers, the deep stops are *not* required; you are not penalized at all for not making them. Pretty much, all the deep stops setting gives you is a nice little stop depth suggestion with a one or two minute countdown timer (which disappears if you don't stop there). It *is* a very rudimentary algorithm, of course, but it can be convenient for divers who plan more loosely than others.Having the computer artificially and arbitrarily add them in as a required stop IMO doesn't make sense ---- unless you have a dive philosophy of just blindly doing what your computer tells you.
Rubicon Research Repository are very intersting. For the moment, I can read only with abstracts.With Suunto computers, the deep stops are *not* required; you are not penalized at all for not making them.

By the way, regarding deep stops, I found several of the deep stop papers available in the Rubicon Research Repository (especially the ones from 2007) to be quite interesting.
