 Because it's easier to our fill-station, don't have to watch all the 
time
 when it's JUST 255 bar....
 well...that answer didn't help a lot but thanks anyway.
 I just wondered that if the calculation model of computer is based on 
the
 amount of gas (=nitrogen) you breathe, can it cause a danger of DCS
 because if it doesn't notice the additional 45 bar anyhow...(or does 
it?)
 But if it doesn't, how big the difference in NDL's can be?
 Or.....am I just messing my head with this?
