Warning: Relying on that bottom timer trick for deeper dives almost got me bent last week
I've been doing inland commercial work around the Great Lakes for about 8 years now, and I started using this shortcut where I'd shave a few minutes off my bottom timer to squeeze in an extra job on the same set of tanks. Last Thursday at 65 feet on a bridge pier repair in Detroit, I felt that weird joint ache coming on halfway through my first hang and realized I had pushed it too far. Has anyone else here survived a close call with decompression sickness because of a bad habit or corner you thought you could get away with?

My last close call involved an extra 5 minutes and a whole lot of regret in my drysuit.
