I admit to be the dummest and dimmest diver on scubaboard. Took padi ow and aow 30 years ago, passed DM exam 10 plus years ago. And dumb enough when a diver asked me why his computer locked him out for a second dive from 55 ft... I did not have the correct answer three weeks ago. It is because I confused diving in the NLD means you are safe to ascend at ANY rate from ANY depth. Until I read in a deco training book that ALL divers dive using DECO procedures and rules do do decompression continuously. That breaking the recommended rate of ascend of 60 fpm early on, the 30 fpm later is the DECO time that MUST be obeyed or else you are at risk for decompression sickness, regardless of the nitrogen load your computer say. Okay flame away!!!
