⏱️ Deep Stop? Why shouldn't divers cross 🤿

Ever heard of "Deep Stop"?

Some used to do it. Some saw it in Dive Computer.

But still wondering...

"Is it really necessary?"

"There's Safety Stop. Isn't that enough?"

The answer is...

Deep Stop may not be as mandatory as the iconic Stop.

But it's "another layer of safety."

That safe-line divers should not overlook, especially deep dives or heavy dives.

🤔 Deep Stop?

Deep Stop

Is a temporary break during the rise to the surface.

On a deeper level than Safety Stop.

It's generally around.

👉 Half the maximum depth.

Such as

• 30 meters deep black

• Deep Stop will be about 15 meters.

• It takes about 30-60 seconds

(Based on each person's Dive and Dive Computer profile)

It's not a "long pause."

But it's "stop being beat."

🫧 Why is Deep Stop so important?

While we were scuba diving,

Nitrogen will melt into the body more.

The deeper, the longer, the more cumulative.

If we rise fast from deep,

Nitrogen may turn into a gas bubble too quickly.

Which the body can't handle

👉 Deep Stop acts like the first brake.

Helps the body start spitting nitrogen.

Since it's still in the depths.

Before ascending to the shallow range.

The simple idea is

We don't let the gas bubble

"Grow up too fast at once."

⚠️ Why shouldn't you skip Deep Stop?

Deep Stop Crossing

Especially in the following situations.

• Deep dive (25-30 meters or more)

• Multiple dives per day

• Dives with a lot of Bottom Time

• Drift Dive where ascent may be fast

• Use Nitrox or Profile quite heavily

May increase the risk to

• Choi Stress

• Abnormal fatigue after diving

• Pain, numbness, fatigue

• And in some cases, it may be linked to DCS.

Even sometimes "no immediate effect is seen."

But the body...

Remember every dive that we used to pressure it.

🛑 Deep Stop ❣ iconic Stop (don't be confused)

This is very important.

• Deep Stop

Is to stop "reinforcing" to increase safety.

Skip, but unnecessarily increase risk.

• Highway Stop

Is to stop "forcing" when entering Decom.

👉 Cross = real danger. Shouldn't do it.

Simply put,

Deep Stop = Well done to the body

Deco Stop = Don't do it and then risk your life.

🤿 Who should pay special attention to Deep Stop?

Deep Stop is very suitable for

• Divers who start diving deeper

• People who dive in multiple dives next to each other

• People who feel tired easily after diving

• People who want to "dive long-term"

• Safe-focused divers rather than showcasing pretty profiles

🌊 Diver summary

Deep Stop

Maybe it's just a short time.

A few tens of seconds. On the way up.

But it's that moment.

The body has "gained a foothold."

Before changing from the underwater world.

Back to the surface safely.

Underwater...

Invisible Things

Always the most important. 🤿
