Offgassing at depth VS. on the boat

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to start a fight, take off the gloves. I was referring to air. When the instructor explained this to us in open water he was not keen on elaborating, so I did not take it at face value, that's why I'm asking. After the other training I've received, it seemed that the O2 content of approx 32%PP would be neglible vs the pressure gradient of
the N2 at the safety stop. I would think it would speed up the process, but the fastest offgas would be at the surface. Thanks for the reply's, as I've learned something, and you can't put a price on something you've learned.

Oh we're not fighting.

When you get as old as me and Ian and Charley are, sitting around drinking Coronas and pontificating about decompression qualifies as entertainment

I must admit, I was also enjoying it, thanks Doc.
