*Edit* - Stressing out that this query is not in relation to formal continuous decompression methods employed in some saturation or chamber operations. I meant 'continuous' also in the context of a staged decompression, but where the ascents are calculated micro-stops themselves. Thus curving the gap between stages, a following the curve profile.
Hi all,
Any recent research/analysis/reasoning in favor or against continuous decompression?
If you recount the old 'diver on the line' thing on the VR3.. I used to like it. The aim was to keep your off-gassing tension relatively constant, well it still involved stops but with a gradual ascent to the following shallower stop rather than the traditional 'hold the stop and move to the next when prompted'. Then with the @Shearwater I had abandoned this (not following their CEIL option) as you'l be getting a Missed Deco warning should you ascend past your fixed ceiling to your shallower variable ceiling.
I'd be interested to learn of anything new on this or if it's just discouraged because there's no basis to support it?
Thanks
