What Is a Decompression Dive?

A decompression dive is a type of scuba diving that involves staying underwater for a longer period of time than a standard dive. This is achieved by making multiple stops at different depths, allowing the body to gradually release absorbed nitrogen and prevent decompression sickness.

How Decompression Dives are Conducted

To ensure a safe dive, decompression dives are carefully planned and executed. The diver must follow a strict dive profile, making stops at predetermined depths for specific periods of time, to allow the body to release absorbed nitrogen. Additionally, the diver must carry enough air to complete the entire dive, including the required decompression stops.
