To use a term you are undoubtably familiar with: "STROKE ALERT!". 45 minutes at 100' is quite a ways beyond NDL, even with EAN32
I didn't say that I'd do that dive. I was just questioning Braunbehrens statement that "using nitrox 32 you are pretty much guaranteed to run out of gas before ndl."MikeFerrara once bubbled...
Great but now leave 100 ft with enough gas to get you and your buddy to the surface doing a nice diver freindly ascent and then where are you?
Any one planning a 45 minute dive to 100 ft on a single 80 needs more than the 120 rule or even a computer to help em.

Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Even without having met you, it is clear from your posts that you can read an NDL table and calculate gas requirements.Braunbehrens once bubbled...
Having said that, I wonder how it would have been received on this board if *I* had called *you* a stroke, instead of the other way around.
This kind of anti DIR double standard really ticks me off. Next you'll be saying how rude we DIR divers always area.
Some dive sites tend to have square profiles -- such as wrecks.Braunbehrens once bubbled...
Notice I said "pretty much". You always have to be careful on square profiles. Plus if you go that deep you'll be doing more stops on the way up. Your numbers are also a bit extreme, your NDL a bit low, and there is no accounting for rock bottom.
