Decompression stops:
- 3 meters for 18 minutes
- 6 meters for 7 minutes
- 9 meters for 4 minutes
- 12 meters for 3 minutes
- Total: 32 minutes of stops
Now; consider it's as good as 40 meters from the bottom to your first stop,
should you put in some additional 'Pyle' stops (say one every 10 meters for 1
min)? *Pyle stops are a good idea and help reduce micro bubble formation*
Including Pyle stops, your ascent now looks like this:
- 41 meters 1 minutes
- 31 meters 1minutes
- 21 meters 1 minutes
- 12 meters 3 minutes
- 9 meters 4 minutes
- 6 meters 7 minutes
- 3 meters 18 minutes
Your ascent rate, according to Buhlmann, should be 10 meters per minute, so
don't forget to account for this. For example, it will take you 1 minute to ascend from
50 meters to 41 meters; another minute from 41 to 31 meters, and so on. This is
often referred to as travel time. So
lets have another look at that ascent.
