Good point
@atdotde . It seems to me, tho', that a diver who stays just below the ceiling (and therefore maybe doesn't anchor the GFLo), is nonetheless offgassing as planned for that gradient, at least in the beginning. In other words, as soon as he ascends, he "violates the ceiling" of the stop he never met, but during the time he was offgassing, the requirement for that stop disappeared in the computer as it did realtime computations of theoretical N2 accumulation. I think it amounts to following the profile, at least at the beginning. What happens next is then interesting, and
@Shearwater would need to speak to this: at the
next stop, what GF is applied? It might be that the GF Lo anchor was applied the moment the diver broke thru the first stop. But if that stop requirement disappeared, the
new first stop might be at GF30, and the diver might theoretically be following a GF30/30 profile all the way to the surface as the required stops disappeared. Have I got your thoughts correct? Can't wait to hear what the programmers say.
