Which Deco Gas Do You Use Most Often

[waterpirate]

For dives that dictate more than one deco gas, once on the helium I stay on it. For a back gas of 18/45, I would switch to 32/20, then to 70% to smooth out the transition off the helium. Everyones profile and planning uses a different strategy unless you are diving as a team. If diving as a team then a unified plan is a no brainer.

If you're a rebreather diver, sorry.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because there was no button for a ppO2 setpoint .

Oh I forgot... I didn't use a standard gas... My bad. I'm a rebel.

Depth is going to determine if you need helium in the deco mix (like Tx 12/60); at least for me. Once I leave the bottom I want to get onto a deco gas ASAP and below 40m you will have to add some He.

I guess you mean END rather than actual depth

50%... max I'm certified to right now.

You do know that RB divers carry OC bailout gas right?

Wow you must be doing some big assed dives if you are decoing on 12/60

I do. Feel free to answer with your bailout deco plan if you want. Thought the poll was pretty clear. And I wasn't bashing RB divers if that's how you interpreted it.

Wow!! I wish that was true :worship:. I only splash around in the shallow-end thou.

12/60 is not deco gas, rather reference to bottom gas for "deep-ish" dive. Poorly structured content on my behalf, will fix that for you.
