Not officially (normally) though as many dive guides don't seem to have computers they wouldn't know anyway. I do occasionally take suitably qualified divers on a deco dive in the Hole, both on grounds of depth and duration. Anything more than 1 hr run time needs a dedicated boat which becomes very costly, but up to that can often be arranged.

Other than as a sheer technical exercise, there isn't much to recommend it.
I don't know if it is still true, but the bull sharks used to hang out on the one side around 150 feet. A few of the dive shops would take people down for a decompression dive to see the sharks.
Most other dive shops dove the other side and went down to 130 feet (there is a bit of an overhang there with stalagtites). They recomended that you stick to no decompression because it is a long boat ride of problems occured, but they let you dive your computer.
