Higher Quality Decompression

The presentation is designed to help ensure that you have a bend and symptom free dive and therefore remain healthy. The benefits for deep divers go even further though - better and safer offgassing allows the diver to potentially shorten his/her deco when compared to modern dive computers / tables. Even if the deco is not deliberately shortened, the increased safety margin is there in the event of, for examples, a suit flood or some other reason that you are forced to surface before completing all your decompression obligations.



Stewie has been diving with CFT for 25 years and almost from the start enjoyed deep (50m) dives on air. Attending CFT's first nitrox course was the beginning his quest to find the right 'tools' to go further. Stewie has completed thousands of dives, usually on open circuit using a single 10 litre cylinder! Ironically his one and only dive on a twin-set left a lot to be desired - in all the wrong ways.

Turning to rebreather diving in 2003 and trimix in 2004 opened up the 70m 'classics' in Donegal. Since then Stewie has dived four times with the UK's deep teams, Darkstar and Starfish Enterprise. Finding HMS Viknor (86m) and diving RMS Amazon (117m) with Darkstar were highlights even to this day.

Diving deep with Barry McGill's Donegal team and finding new wrecks such as Flavia (105m), Carinthia (115m), Curacoa (125m) and Assyria (137m), to name a few, has been very special. This culminated this year in the first Irish divers on the liner Empress of Britain in 163 metres shows the need for a handle on good decompression practices!!

This would definately be worth a visit for anyone intersted understanding how the body handles off gassing. It would be useful to all divers even those who are leaving their no deco times.
