Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about this, but...and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...but don't you use a deco gas with a high ppO2 (such as 80%) for deco after a dive that you used and bottom gas (Trimix?) with reduced O2 percentage? (I'm not sure I stated that...
Your point is well taken, BUT...
He was wearing a 3mm shorty in a pool.

Make them do the very same things in BOW w/Nitrox...
JT2: I know what you mean. I'm 200 miles from the coast, but I do all my ocean dives on nitrox. I don't think any of the LDSs here have Nitrox capability.
Bob,
You make it sound like computers don't round to the conservative side. Granted, Not all computers are create equal. Some are very close to the US Navy tables but other are much more consevative.
An example of this occured last Friday. After our first dive of the day, we were comparing...
I guess that depends on where you're training and who is doing the training. Here we have 10-12 hours of classroom and 8-10 hours of pool time. Average 4 students per class and charge $335.00 for OW.
