The main reason why the recreational diving depth limit is 40 meters/130 feet is safety. Yes, you can exceed this point, but you need technical diving skills to do that. Beyond 40 meters/130 feet, it is necessary to make decompression stops and even use different gas mixtures, depending on the depth you reached.

How deep can you dive without decompression? Practically speaking, you can make no stop dives to 130 feet. While you can, in theory, go deeper than that and stay within no stop limits, the no stop times are so short that "well within" limits is essentially impossible.

If you exceed a no decompression limit or an adjusted no decom- pression limit by more than five minutes, a 5 metre/15 foot stop for no less than 15 minutes is strongly urged, air supply permitting.

If a no-decompression limit is exceeded by 5 minutes or less, make an 8-minute stop at 15 feet and remain out of the water for 6 hours before diving again.

What's the difference between Decompression & Safety Stops? Decompression stop after a deep dive - credit Emmy AhlenUnlike a Decompression Stop, which is absolutely necessary after a deep dive, a 'Safety Stop' is just for added safety and it is performed at the end of a non-deco recreational dive.

The "no-decompression limit" (NDL) or "no-stop limit" , is the time interval that a diver may theoretically spend at a given depth without having to perform any decompression stops while surfacing.

The "no-decompression limit" (NDL) or "no-stop limit" , is the time interval that a diver may theoretically spend at a given depth without having to perform any decompression stops while surfacing.

A no-decompression limit is the maximum time that a diver can spend underwater and still ascend directly to the surface without the need for decompression stops.

If you accidentally miss a safety stop, but you've been following safe practices, nothing will likely happen. Still, we recommend refraining from diving the rest of the day, and you'll want to keep an eye out for decompression sickness symptoms.

– Open Water Divers can plan and execute dives with a certified buddy or dive professional to a maximum depth of 18 meters/60 feet. – Scuba Divers may only dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional (an Instructor) to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet.

Using a dive computer: If you exceed your computer's no decompression limits, it will go into decompression mode, which guides you through the emergency decompression stop.

Duck diving or freediving immediately after a scuba dive is dangerous because of the repressurization of nitrogen bubbles, and the potential effects of that as you rapidly ascend.
