Welcome to The Deco Stop, the internets biggest and best resource for rebreather & open circuit technical decompression diving! Whether you dive in caves, lakes or the big blue ocean, there will be something here for you.

With over 20,000 members and growing, The Deco Stop offers all levels of scuba diver an invaluable resource from those considering transitioning to tech, right through to exploration level divers and instructor trainers. Our members are respected for freely sharing their wealth of knowledge of decompression theory, diving medicine, technical training, semi and fully closed circuit rebreathers plus their personal experiences of diving in general. Of course, opinion is just that, and nobody should substitute proper training and experience for something gleaned from an internet forum, however you will find active tech diving doctors, lawyers, pilots, submariners, military, law enforcement, instructors, engineers, academics, old salts plus the industries manufacturers and training agencies all posting here, so you can be sure you are in good hands.

The internets role in scuba diving is becoming stronger by the day. The training agencies continue to offer more courses on line; consumers continue to purchase their dive gear from online stores and online dive communities are springing up all over the world offering trips and networking.

Our goal is to keep it focussed, keep it simple and keep it in one place. If you are a tech diver, or interested in finding out more about it, then we hope you visit the site frequently, contribute often and find it as rewarding as we do.
