Care to elaborate on this?  Ya mean O2 is the only paramater I need to 
worry about for deco? Cool! So if I keep my PO2 setpoint at, say, 1.4atm, 
then it doesn't matter whether my diluent is helium or nitrogen or some 
combination thereof -- the deco times will all be the same?  Thanks for 
the tip - this makes my diving logistics MUCH easier - and it will get me 
out of the water faster too!  This is the best news I've heard in a long 
time! Yippie!

Aloha,
Rich
