I thought the Italians claimed the kissing thing.Their toast is really good, and they apparently invented kissing.

However I think it's just the name that got created in this story. I'd bet that the actual act was invented long before countries such as France or Italy (or any other) were invented.

I do very slow ascents on every dive. Came close to NDL a few times at Dutch Springs.. again slow ascents. Deep stops at 1/2 the max depth and 10 feet increments for 1 minute and then 3 minutes at 15 and then CRAWL from 15 to surface. My ears love me. To be completely honest and I will catch crap for saying this I dont see the major issue with a handful of minutes of deco. I have done deco style ascents for years. I can hold buoyancy at any depth up to 3 feet under water and hover if I choose to. That said, I dont officially have the training so I dont do deco diving. Once I get doubles it's straight into tec and we will go from there. I agree with an earlier reply here that rocketing up from 1 minute shy of deco is much more risky than incurring the few minutesof deco and doing the stop. Its not rocket science. We are not talking about multiple stage diving down below recreational limits. "deco' dives are not all born alike.
Yes, they can, but it gets complicated because the response is really different from different situations.Depending on what you mean by ‘very slow’ your ascents might be less than ideal.
