I did a workshop for some of our dive staff recently... Part of the discussion was: Every dive is a decompression dive.
One of the staff had a hard time wrapping her mind around the concept in large part because "Decompression" meant "Staged Decompression" to him.
Every dive is an On-gassing and Off-gassing dive.
This he could understand
The PADI recreational dive planner makes a 3 minute 15' safety stop "mandatory" on NDL dives below 100 feet and anytime when getting within 3 pressure groups of the NDL.
When a stop becomes mandatory should it still be called a safety stop or should it call a decompression stop or something else and if the stop is mandatory is it still an NDL dive.
Does missing a mandatory safety stop on the PADI table put a diver at greater risk than a diver skipping an optional safety stop on another table.
Opinions?
Mine is that calling it a safety stop is a bit misleading since by original definition a safety stop was recommended but optional and is optional on other tables.
