Have i read this bit right?
Is it suggesting that it may be benificial to include a pressure spike into a profile?
ie 1) dive at 25m then drop to 30m towards the end before beginning your ascent, or
2) dive 30m then an ascent to, for the sake of discussion, 12m then drop back to 18m, followed by your ascent?
I wouldn't have thought this was a good idea, don't forget that NASA do decompression in a different way, they start at 'normal' pressure & then reduce it. What they don't do is load up the tissues & then reduce the pressure.
It is a while since I looked at this area, but OTTOMH the pressure increase needed to crush nuclei is quite high, (double springs to mind), a shift from 3.5 bar to 4 bar (or 2.2 bar to 2.8 bar) I wouldn't have thought would do much.
cheers,
