Probably 5000 dives on ~90 , maybe more. Whatever Orca used on EDGEs, Skinny Dippers and Marathons. Probably get a Shearwater one day just to see.
That's fascinating, and insane. Never heard of intentional GFs >100. Courting disaster.20+ years ago several prominent tech divers in Germany were diving a GFhigh of 150. I tried it too for less than a year, It worked but I was extremely tired after such dives. Dropped my GFhigh down to 125 and that worked well until about 2008. Similar problems then and I dropped my GFhigh down to 100.
6 or 7 years later I was having issues with a GFhigh of 100 on multiday trips involving 2 Trimix dives a day after 4+ days.
Now I'm older, use a GFhigh of 85, and take a 1/2 day break after 3 and a half days of doing 2 trimix dives a day.
It works for me, cannot say that it would work for you and if you get badly bent, it'll be your own fault.

That's also insane, and hard to tell if you're serious or not.No idea... I just like to Polaris missile myself from 6m onto the swim grid once my average depth hits 21m again.... DM’s dig it!

Has to be an attempt at humour, right?That's also insane, and hard to tell if you're serious or not.
It depends on the dive. Paradoxically, the shorter the decompression obligation, the lower GF-Hi I prefer. Example, a ~60 minute swim at 90' average depth, I'll probably run the equivalent of a GF-75 or 80. A dive with a six-hour decompression obligation I'll probably run equivalent of a GF-90 once I get to the shallower stops.
