Decompression Schedule
A Decompression Schedule is a series of increasingly shallower decompression stops for (usually) increasing amounts of time that a diver uses to offgas inert gases from the diver' body on the ascent to the surface to reduce the risk of decompression sickness. In a decompression dive, the decompression phase makes up a large part of the time spent underwater (in many cases its longer than the actual time spent a depth).
