Hi all,
When diving reverse profiles, the recommendation from DAN et al based on the 1999 conference is for there being no more than a 12m difference between depths is given.
I’m wondering if anyone knows why this figure specifically is given? If the first dive is a longer shallow one in say 6-10m of water, what is the argument for limiting the next dive to 22m? Can a dive computer not be trusted to monitor saturation on a shorter multilevel second dive to say 30m then 20m then 10m?
Just trying to get my head around this specific recommendation as it became relevant for me today when planning some dives with my buddy.
Thanks!
