    Offgassing is better, not worse. Do not skip the air breaks, or you will be 
sorry - your lungs will burn, scarr, and feel like you have a very bad cold or 
flu.

      no mask unless sleeping (to keep from breathing through your nose), and
do 
not breath the habitat environment - to much CO2 - take an air break every 
twenty minutes. The deco is shortened from what it would be if you did the
stops 
all the way up in the water.
  
      I get right out from 30 feet, but JJ takes his time and works up. I would 
rather be bent than tox in midwater, as I do not care about DCS, and never get 
it anyway, neither does JJ, but he dives a lot more than me, and is considering 
that in his deco. Brent just does more and gets straight out, the rest do it by 
the book .
