Jarrod got and spoke afterwards and pointed out that GUE had already made a change around the practise around deep stops around a year ago. I believe he was specifically referring to the removal of the 1min at 80% ATA's in the T1 range. On that basis I'd say it was relevant to the kind of diving people are doing.

Pardon my ignorance, but I am a bit unclear on what "removal of the 1min at 80% ATA's in the T1 range" means.

GUE removed just the first stop at 80% and so your 1st stop is 10 feet shallower ? Surely it can't mean all the 80% stops are removed ?

Was this a change that was communicated to anyone? I don't seem to recall hearing about any changes like that.

Generally I stop 10 feet shallower than the 80% says anyway, and make the first stop less than a minute. So if 80% @ 150 comes out to 110, then I'd stop at 100 for whatever fraction of a minute was left on the timer, then do 1's
