by setting the GF low at 10, the first stop will be deeper and the depth will be set by what depth my pressures reach 10% of the MV value. Thus My first(deepest) stop be always be offgassing rather than ongassing.
Now, we are havin fun.
By the way, I will try to knock out your spacer tomorrow
You on gas some tisue compartments during deep stops and off gas others.
Deep stops add deco to the dive time
Taking it to an extreem a dive to 100m for 30mins running 10/100GF will have a deco time of 170mins. Same dive running 100/100GF will have a deco of 129min
So doing the deep stops ads 41mins of deco
What deep stops are claimed to do is reduce the over all body stress of so called bend and mend profiles.
If you beleive this then thats up to you
I do but not only for this reasion. I think the Bhulman type profiles dont handle Helium very well. I think you need more emphasis on deep stops when using trimix. So i do a load of deep stops. Its just my atempt at feeling in control
Christ knows if my voodoo is any better than the next blokes
It seems to work OK for me but the more I get into deco diving the more I realise theres a 101 ways to skin a cat.
