She has weak lungs. Her asthma is much worse than mine. She said that the dive computer tells her what to do according to how her body is reacting.
Her dive instructor is a former military diver that is certified to 300 feet, is a cave diver, rescue diver, and free diver. His lungs and body are in MUCH better shape than hers and he can dive deeper before decompression becomes an issue, according to her.
So, I guess the answer to the question about how deep you can go without decompressing is, it depends. It’s less deep for her than for somebody else. I’m sure there are rules about it, especially when diving in a group.
