That's very hard to do.Or at least put it back to rest for a bit to be brought out again in a few months

If this is serious have you tried just using air to see if it's any better or worse."
Yes. There is no issue with air because we can't dive as long, so less nitrogen build up.
Glenn, it's usually 32%. If you're only diving once or twice, I would imagine that's why.
