Looking for an excerpt from the NSS cave diving manual

I spent many years using tables. In the example above we would have repeated the 20 foot stop on the final accent, or multiplied the 10 foot stop by 1.5.

Not suggesting that you did anything unsafe, good sir, but is that a textbook answer or a workaround developed in real life?

There were a lot of practices back then that would not be popular today. I dove with a commercial diver who had different training. After a while you could get a pretty good feel for how much you needed to alter the tables by how much you ached after a dive. There were no computers then, so you could wind up having to make up decompression on the fly if things didn't go as planned.

You should see us diving sumps! I imagine we still have a number of unpopular practices
