All,
I hope this isn't a stupid question and maybe I will learn it in my Deco procedures class (I am currently enrolled in Intro to Tec for TDI), but I was wondering if any of you ever extend a recreational dive into some short deco. For example, lets say you are with a 2 buddies who are only recreational divers. You plan a dive to 100ft. Lets say your NDL time is somewhere between 16-20 min on air depending on your computer. Your buddies are wearing 100s but you are wearing your doubles (for whatever reason). Now lets say we all will follow 20min as our NDL time. It approaches 20 minutes so your buddies want to ascend but you found something interesting. So you tell them to ascend without you. You have plenty of air because you are wearing doubles. So have any of you hung around a few extra minutes maybe racking up a few minutes of deco?
