I've just purchased a Mares M1 and have been playing with the dive simulator mode.
I tried running a simulation down to 30m and back. Staying at 30m until a couple of minutes from my deco stop. Then ascending slowly until at around 10m or less, staying within a few mintues of deco at each level. When I reached 10m or so the time to deco went back to 99 mins.
The deco timer didn't reduce at that depth although I waited for at least 20 mins to see what would happen. I then continued up making a deco stop for 3 mins at 3-5m.
This has raised a couple of questions I'd like Dr Deco to help me with :-
1) Why did my time to deco not continue reducing after I'd passed the 10m mark ?
2) On my PADI dive table (not multi level) I noticed that the first entry is 10m. I also appreciate that this where first bar of additional pressure comes in. What I don't understand is can you stay in less than 10m of water indefinitly (assuming you have the air of course) without fear of decompression ?
