The fit diver has by definition more capillary development and therefor a better transport tmechanism. Gas is still moved in solution as well, and will get into tissues that do not have good vascular structure. Therefor the unfit diver ongases into poorly perfused tissues but has trouble offgassing. The fit diver offgasses better, and both way acton is better, but in the fast tissues this is expected anyway. We do deeper stops because it is easier to remove gas before it forms bubbles. It is definetly true that deco is different for everyone. We tune our tables to our dives, reporting back to Hamilton on what the results were until we got it right. We now use tables that are much faster than are predicted by any model, but have deeper stops than are predicted by any model. Since I get regular spine , brain , and joint scans, I do not want to hear any bull from soneone who does not (about our deco). We also do mixed gas repets, and extreme mixed gas repets. I just got checked prior to my knee surgury two weeks ago - clean as a whistle. Since I have done more of these extreme exposure mixed gas long range cave exploration dives than anyone in the community, I would suggest we are on to something in decoland. -G
