Decompression is a critical phase in diving where accumulated inert gases, primarily nitrogen, are safely expelled from a diver's body to avoid decompression sickness (DCS). Deco mixes are tailored to optimize the elimination of these gases, particularly during deep or prolonged dives where standard air might not suffice. Understanding and correctly using deco mixes can significantly enhance a diver's safety, reducing the risk of DCS and other diving-related ailments.
