What depth/frequency is a concern for pushing the "bent" limit?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Unfortunately it is much more complex than that - there are fast loading tissues, slow loading tissues, and many other factors alone at scuba diving. At freediving there are even more variables with the very variable content of CO2, fast ascent velocity, and also the periferal vasoconstrciton and cerebral vasodilation are playing an important role. So as Eric wrote, he developed an algorithm for the Liquivision Xen computer, and will offer a simulator so that you can see how it works even without his computer. Just keep on mind that there is no warranty, and that there is very little research done - the algorithm Eric wrote is based on his knowledge and experience, but it is not peer reviewed and cannot be easily backed by a huge database of dives like it was the case at the validation of scuba deco algorithms.

Very similar dive profile to what we do as well! What kind of fish do you all shoot in Chile? Have friends in Peru that have been after me to come down, but didn't think there was much good spearing down that way!

The 30m spearing was in easter island, water is too cold in Chile to try that with a 7mm suit on, for me at least. Here we normally dive 10 to 20m, plenty of fish there to make deeper unnecessary. All bentonics, very similar to Californian fish and terrain. Come on down!
 

Haha, thankyou! Do you have any spearfishing pictures from your area I could see? Love to see other people's adventures from around the world!
