| Using my settings for deco (10/90GF) Any thing less than 60 Min's deco commitment, its a no brainer just take the diver to the surface.
It important to know the base line for the deco which is why I always take a look at a 100/100GF plan for the dive so I have a rough idea.
I would hope to be able to get the diver to the surface, raise the alarm and then go back down to do my missed deco procedures.
Anything more than that Id need to convince my self there was a point in risking a major bend and ultimately my young kids need a dad.
The diver is already in a bad way so unless he's breathing whats the point in taking him straight up with a 2hour deco commitment owing, the stress of that will surely kill him and likely kill/seriously injure you.
The brain can last about 8mins without 02. so assuming a couple of mins left on the bottom and a min to get sorted you only have 4-5mins to get the diver to the surface and breathing again. From depth this might be impossable without risk of baratrauma.
For me if there is serious deco owing and its deep then it has to be fixed at depth or its a body recovery situation.
