John, we dove Hole in the Wall for the second dive that day - it is
about 120 feet - that was something like a 28X35 mix. The real answer to
your question is try to get the helium up at least to 35 or it does not
do much good. The body dive we were using 55X10 for clarity - that kind
of shit is nerve-wracking.
