What Happens if You Miss a Decompression Stop?

The potential side effects and what you can do to protect yourself

By Eric Douglas | Published On December 30, 2024


Denise was leading a dive when one of the divers in her group signaled that he was having trouble. She immediately went over to help. When she got to the surface a few minutes later, her dive computer gave her error messages and was locked out. It showed she had missed part of a decompression stop.

The Diver

Denise was a 24-year-old dive instructor working on a liveaboard near a remote set of islands. She had recreational and technical diving instructor certifications.

The Dive

The water was cool with some currents where they were diving, along with some surface chop. Denise was leading a group on a tour. Many of the divers planned to make decompression stops at the end.

No Piece of Dive Gear is Worth Your Life

from the June, 2025 issue of Undercurrent



As many divers would, when Zhang Xiao Han dropped her GoPro and saw it heading for the depths, she went down after it. Sadly, she never returned.

On May 3, the 30-year-old Chinese tourist's body was recovered at 285 feet. She had been diving with Green Nirvana Resort near Kakaban Island, Indonesia.


According to a report from the South China Post, she was in a group of 12 divers with three guides who were returning from a dive to 30 meters. As they reached five meters below the surface, Zhang lost her grip on the camera. She decided to dive back down to retrieve it even though one of the guides instructed her not to. When she did not return soon, two guides dived to look for her, but without success.


Footage from her recovered GoPro captured her final moments as she struggled against a strong current. The video helped recovery divers locate her.
