Reference was made to a 3 and 5 minute safety stop in the thread on draining your tank dry. I'd like to discuss the pros/cons of each. Also, any actual papers or research done on the benefits of a longer safety stop would be great.
Finally, I'm wondering if doing several stops or pauses would be an even better way to perform ascents.
What's the safest way to perform ascents and what exactly are we trying to do? Prevent silent bubbles, prevent DCS, prevent what?
How do you ascend? Are you considering making changes?
