    Repetitive or multiple dives

    Hi Everyone

    I am going to dive the whole week next week in the Red Sea in Yemen. I was wondering how many dives I could make per dive and still be safe with DCS. I have a dive computer. Will something like this work:

    7 AM : Dive 1
    10 AM : Dive 2
    1 PM : Dive 3
    3 PM: Dive 4
    5: 30 PM : Dive 5

    I want to do this for 5 days on this schedule per day. Is it realistic or do I need to change it in order to avoid DCS? Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

    Greetings
    MArius

    Obviously, your dive schedules will be determined by bottom times and depths. Use a computer or tables to plan your dives ahead of time..

    I tried to do the 5 dive per day thing on a liveaboard in the Caymans. I found that mid-week, I had to skip a few dives to let my body recover. It had nothing to do with nitrogen loads but that level of activity was tiring.

    Whether you can do this will also depend on how many dives the boat your are on offers.

    Don't have enough dive information to determine if you can do it.

    Not sure if you will want to do it. Doing 5 repetitive dives for five days would wear me out... eyebrow
