I am sure this has been covered on here before but I couldn't seem to find it, I was sitting back thinking about if for some crazy reason you shot up from the bottom and you were fairly deep and had been down close to your time limit at certain depth. I was wondering what the consequences would be of going back down and starting your offgassing or decompressing at a depth a little above your average depth for the majority of the bottom time? Now, while I was thinking about all of this I came up with a couple different "answers" in my head, both of which could be completely inaccurate which is why I wanted to come to the forum. My first thought was that if you were diving air you would more than likely end up loading more nitrogen and possibly make a rough situation worse....... maybe you wouldn't have enough bottle to even touch the required obligation, I don't know... hopefully someone can chime in here on this! My second thought brought me to the idea that if you had been diving air for your dive but had a nitrox bottle onboard with you and switched out and went back down, you could go down to a safe depth for your mix and start the decompression there and work your way up from there making a few stops every 5 - 10ft with the extra oxygen. Would this help your situation or still make it worse? Obviously, the overall best option is to get to a chamber as quick as you can, but in this thought I was having, the situation had you a long way from a chamber....
Anyway guys, Im sure with this question you can tell that I don't know a whole lot about decompression theory or if that even applies to my question. Any added input would help give me one less thing for my mind to wander and think about before I go to sleep hahah
So thank you guys and Hope to get some decent answers!
