Frank, Did you read the Baker's dozen reasons? This lists touches on more than enough reasons to not use EANX80 routinely. The real issue is not about scraping a few minutes off of your deco time either, it's about deriving the intended benfit that the deco is supposed to provide in the first place. Frank, it would be very appropriate to the discussion to provide the list with some discriptions of the dives you are doing and the deco profiles rather than simply generalize. For instance I know from past NACD journals that you were involved in ocean "blue" (more accurately black) hole exploration. Discussion of these dives would be a good start.
