Yups. It was back in no more than 30 min/50% days and we were switching to BG once 50% petered out. I don't remember exact schedules anymore. Nowadays I value bull****ting on deck slightly more than extra time in water at 20 feet.
5% conservatism on an EMC-20H is very agressive and adding 10 minutes of O2 is just a really good idea. Anything under 30% strikes me as pushing it unless you are adding some additonal safety.
