Re: Shallow dive after a deco dive

In discussions on the SA IANTD Yahoo group I posted a comment about diving to 60m - BT was 35min and total dive time was 115min. After a 2hr sit I then went and dived 10m for 70min - all the way following my VR3. I had a comment that this was a sure way to bend as the micro bubbles would recompress and move into the soft tissues which could result in a spinal bend. It was also stated that "wkpp" had banned this and practice. Your views please ?
I personally would have waited 3hrs, but that also depends on water temp, conditions, and how I was feeling that day. I am also a little older and a little rounder 3 or 4 yrs ago would not have thought twice about that profile.
