The critical aspect of a repetitive dive is the residual nitrogen that remains in the diver's body from the previous dive. This residual nitrogen affects how subsequent dives are planned and executed to avoid decompression sickness, commonly known as "the bends." Understanding repetitive dives is essential for divers to manage their dive profiles safely and to maximize their underwater experience without compromising their health.
