pete340:With air at 60 ft. the NDL is 55 minutes. With EANx32 at 60 ft. the NDL is 90 minutes. If you dive EANx32 and limit yourself to 55 minutes (i.e. use the air table) you get less nitrogen than you would with air for 55 minutes. Some people think this is "safer". DCS in recreational diving is so uncommon that this "improved" safety is pointless. (You do, though, have to remember that the MOD with EANx32 is 110 ft, and even though the air tables allow you to go deeper, you shouldn't do it)
So, if you use the air tables on a X32 dive for 60 ft you cheat yourself out of 45 minutes of BT? Doesn't seem worth it .Would it be a wise idea to see what the max depth is with X32, 110, under 1.4 ppo, [make a mental note of it] then use the air tables? Or, see what the max depth is on your puter for 32% then set it back to 21%?
