Looking at my typical dive profiles, the difference is probably because my dives aren't as "multi-level" as yours. They aren't square profiles, but except for a gradual ascent and the safety stop I don't hang around much in the shallower depths, where the NDL could be stretched way out if I had more air (and something to look at while breathing it).lamont:well, on a 'good' multi-level shore NDL dive, I'll usually go from 3500 to 1000 psi on my 130s. that makes for: 2500 psi * ( 130 cu ft / 3500 psi ) = 92 cu ft -- which would only leave 16 cu ft * ( 3500 psi / 200 cu ft ) = 280 psi left in double 100s. cutting rock bottoms that close on doubles doesn't leave a lot of room left for SPG error...

negative, but they probably won't be available much longer. If you find
