Thalassamania, why the difference between a safety stop and an asymptomatic deco stop? I can think of several reasons (more like assumptions and risk analysis ) for this but I'm struggling with the "never" part for a safety stop.
In the context of recreational diving, a safety stop is recommended but not mandatory as the exposure in any recreational dive is presumably comparatively low. Whereas a dive wherein mandatory deco stops are indicated, the exposure for the dive is comparatively high.
