Ever wonder why?There's no computer that does that.
Never heard if it. Where does it come from and what is the rationale?I use the1 minute rule at 15-12-9-6-3-2-1 metres.
I recon it’s because the majority of divers struggle to hold a single 3 minute safety stop nevermind execute an ascent with multiple stops.Ever wonder why?
Nope, I have a better computer always with me that does these calculations for me. A thinking computerEver wonder why?
GUE. The rationale is a controlled and safe ascent with the whole team according to a plan the whole team acknowledges. It gives the team plenty of time to check surroundings for safe surfacing, clean up, prepare for boat entry, etc. before surfacing. It takes quite a lot of skill though to do this right. One about 6 metre safety stop is much much easier to do.Never heard if it. Where does it come from and what is the rationale?
Totally agree, I don't want to imply one or the other is better. It's just a different strategy which is not supported by any computer I know of. If my buddy wants to do a 3 minute stop because his computers tells him to do so, that's fine with me. I'll wait until it has cleared.The slower the ascent, the better it is. It does not matter if it's done by computer of by brain.* Let's put aside any debate over the merits of that versus the traditional 3-minute stop at 15 feet.
Thanks. Seems like unnecessary overkill, but if that's the way you want to dive, fine. Won't work for me in cave diving, quite unnecessary and probably not possible in my rec diving.Nope, I have a better computer always with me that does these calculations for me. A thinking computer
