I *COMPLETELY* agree with Tom on this - mutiple dives on mix are better 
than same depths on air (despite the years of diving I got away with 
doing as many as 4 60-m dives in a day).  First of all, the more helium 
the better because you're flushing this out much more effectively than 
nitrogen during the interval; and second the high PO2 on deco is probably 
helping more than the compartment math of the deco algorithms suggests.

Rich
