Re: minimum surface time for shallow depths

You are unnecessarily concerned. In those depths and/or the conditions you describe, DCS is not a problem for freedivers. Its just possible in twice that depth but requires long bottom times and a whole bunch of dives.

Surface interval? For 1 minute dives in 10 meters, 2 minutes should be fine, but that depends a lot on you. A little longer will make you safer and probably more comfortable, especially for longer dives.

Sounds like a great trip; have fun.
