Well, how about this:
Any type of diving you cannot or should not do with standard PADI/SSI/CMAS recreational training (Scuba Diver through Instructor).
In other words, all types of diving for which you need extra training as well as equipment and gases that exceed or differ from the recreational standards.

Hi to all,

I am not happy with the new safety stop function. I would like to see the safety stop begin at 6m with a user definable ability to change the time ranges between 3 or 5 minutes.

I believe it is important to give divers this ability as most dive computers in this day and age do now. Dive conditions vary from each location and i am often diving in large swell which can change my safety stop depth without me actually changing my position in the water myself. This means that a larger margin is needed on the safety stop for me regarding depth.

I also try to prolong my safety stops and being able to define a 3 or 5 minute stop with a countdown would be more beneficial, including the ability to resume countdown if depth stops are exceeded. Most dive computer come with this ability now.
