5.12. Deep stops

Deep stops are safety stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of minimizing microbubble formation and excitation.

The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stops iteratively, placing the first stop about halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth. After the first Deep stop is completed, another Deep stop will be prompted halfway to the ceiling, and so on until the ceiling depth is reached.
