Subject: Details on deep washout
Thanks for the interest to everbody who replied. I have run off a quick
comparison dive on proplanner to illustrate the point I mentioned. Proplanner
does not mention Argox in the version I have.

The example dive is as follows:-

30m for 2 mins on 40% 02                                  ( Both Dives)
73m for 10 mins on 11% 02, 44% He ( heliair )     ( Both Dives )
Dive 1                                               Dive 2
30m for 0 mins on 40% 02                  30m for 3 mins on 40% 02   
1 min @ 18m (54 ft)  40% 02              
1 min @ 15m (45 ft)  40% 02
2 min @ 12m (36 ft)  40% 02              1 min @ 12m 40% 02
3 min @  9m (27ft)    80% 02              3 min @  9m 80% 02
5 min @  6m (18ft )   80% 02              5 min @  6m 80% 02
9 min @  3m (  9 ft)   80% 02            10 min @  3m 80% 02

The sharp eyed may notice that an the 3m stop on dive 2 has increased in
length by 1 minute. However, by stopping at 30m ( 90ft, and a depth at which
you would normally be ongassing significantly on air ) you have significantly
reduced the depth of the first calculated stop. 

Still they are only models, but then again my body doesn't tell me how long I
should decompress for so the models are the best, if not the only, assistance
I am going to get :-)

Cheers,

Andy H.
