I did remember that I was writing down a table in my wetnotes when I was doing cave 2. At some point I did write more than 30 minutes deco. I did ask what the deco limit was. There was no deco limit for cave 2. There is also no deco limit on a cave 2 card. In a cave I’m even allowed to do more than 30 minutes of deco....
Seems strange to me Bart, agreed that cave 2 has no deco rules as such. But I always thought that the deco limit of our GUE cave certification is ruled by our tech certification. IE if you are C2 and T1 your decolimit is 30 minutes, and 1 deco gas (the tech 1 limit).
Anyway the guiding thought for me has always been experience being more important than the cert level as such... and as stated as well... there is no scuba police ;-)
Post Script: yes I've done multi stage dives exceeding 30 minutes of deco plenty of times when I was C2/T1, so I'm as guilty as anybody exceeding these limits.
