After a DAN lecture with Dan Orr, it was obvious to me that I needed a longer safety stop. Neural fluid has about the same half time as blood at around five minutes. Making them 5 minutes has eliminated the need to take a nap afterwards. Those two extra minutes really make a difference.
On my recent dives as I am doing some muck photography on reefs I often have deco cleared safety stop at 5m plus 5 - 10 minutes of diving. Does that help me not be so tired when I do 4 dives a day as a lot of the younger people I dive with tell me after doing 14 dives in 3 days they feel too tired to do another 3 dives for the next day.
I'm off to Bali soon to do some wreck diving and we have 14 straight diving days of 3 - 4 dives a day. Some of those will be late night dives, maybe 1pm or 2am. One thing is that I am not drinking on my dive vacations when I want to do a lot of dives. PS I am not going near NDL and definitely not into DECO so don't worry about my GF.
