I'm not sure our deco algorithm agrees with you...

Try this dive profile:

50m  5 min 16/50
50m 10 min

(GF 30/70)

  90 min dive time without the box checked
1933 min dive time with the last stop at 6m

Admittedly, I think that shows a bug in our calculations somewhere, but
still, I'd call this a bit more than "doesn't matter for the deco time".

Robert, any ideas?
