Hi,
Looking at the deco tables, if you just go over the NDL, it looks like you have a 2 or 3 min stop at 10ft.
I'm in good physical condition, but my age is 56. I've never had any issues with DCS, and I never get real close or go over the NDL. Recreational diving only.
My question is: If I do my 3 min safety stop, at 15-20ft, and then hang at 10 for another 2, am I doing anything meaningful to reduce any chance of DCS similar to an increased "safety factor", or am I just wasting time? I usually have plenty of air left.
Thanks!
